Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 large eggs
3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
4 large Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4.5 ounce can Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 packet Old El Paso™ Taco Seasoning mix Low Sodium
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup crema (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a large 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cut the tortillas in to 1/2 inch by 1 inch strips. Whisk the eggs thoroughly in a large bowl. Then mix in the shredded cheese, chopped bell pepper, chiles, 1 cup chopped green onions, salt and tortillas. Pour the mixture into the baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the shredded potato with the Old El Paso™ Taco Seasoning. Then drizzle the butter over the top of the potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle the shredded potatoes over the egg mixture in an even layer. Then place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is puffed up and the hash brown top is crispy. Serve warm, drizzled with crema and sprinkled with green onions if desired.
