1 (20-oz.) bag frozen shredded potatoes (do not thaw)
1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4-oz.) can chop green chiles, drained
10 large Eggs
1 c. sour cream
1 c. whole or 2% milk

How to make Breakfast Burrito Egg Casserole
Step 1: In the middle of the oven, arrange the rack, then preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Using cooking spray, lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. To the prepared dish, add the shredded potatoes while breaking any large clumps using your hands, then the beans, and chiles. Stir well to combine, then spread evenly.
Step 3: In a large bowl, add the eggs, sour cream, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper. Whisk well, then pour the mixture over the vegetable mixture.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes until the top is golden-brown and the knife inserted in the middle of the casserole comes out clean. Remove from the oven when done and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Step 5: Slice the casserole and if desired, serve with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and salsa.
NOTES:
1. To make this ahead, assemble, cover, and store the casserole in the fridge overnight. When ready to serve, let it come to room temperature before baking.
2. Place the leftovers in a covered container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
