Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped, plus more for serving
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- Pinch crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- One 16-ounce can diced green chiles
- 3/4 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
- 48 potato tots (from a 1-pound bag)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casings removed
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 12 large eggs, beaten
- Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
- 10 ounces mozzarella, grated
- Garnish: sour cream, sliced jalapenos, sliced radishes, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they’ll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
- Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

Okay dish. Nothing special, to be a repeat in our home.
This was a big hit! Time consuming, but worth it. The green chili sauce will be in regular rotation since trying this.
Can you make this ahead and freeze it?
Unable to see the nutrition info…important because it helps me adjust ingredients. Sorry if it is my tech issue., recipe sounded so good want to try it.
So amazing! My house smelled amazing and cannot wait to make again!
Soooo good! I made my own small gluten free tortillas and then folded them taco style, and placed them to fill the bottom of the pan. The sauce is delicious and we loved this! We also used breakfast sausage instead of chorizo.
We love Mexican inspired brunch and this will definitely make a regular appearance at our home! Well worth the effort.. So delicious!!!!
This casserole is awesome. I took the shortcut and used Herdez Medium Roasted Salsa Verde. Everything else exactly the same. My folks were all over it and declared right away, this was a keeper.
Couldn’t easily find corrizo, so substituted with turkey breakfast sausage (a little healthier too) and it was legit delicious! Would do this again in heartbeat! So glad we watched last week’s episode!
This recipe and sauce looks wonderful. I would love to do burritos instead and bring them to work for sharing. But I’m wondering how I would handle the green sauce. Should I just put sauce inside instead if on top? Any ideas?
