I found this recipe a while ago as a way to use up some salsa i had on hand. I didn’t make it then, but I was looking for something interesting to try for Christmas Breakfast so I tried this recipe.
I found some of the amounts of ingredients to be not enough, so i changed up some of directions.
I didn’t do multiple layers as there was not really enough beans to do more than 1. I also added green chiles to add some interest!
Buenos Dias Breakfast

- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

- 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream

- pour over top.
- Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Refrigerate, covered, at least 8 hours or overnight.,

- Bake, covered, 30 minutes.
- Uncover; bake 10-45 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Verdict:
This was just ok. I used flour tortillas and almond milk which might have made it a bit more gooiey and harder to set. All it all it was ok, but i think it needed more beans and more salsa. I would probably skip the tortillas and sprinkle some tortilla chips on top or on the side when served.
If you try this, let me know what you think!
