Notes

 

Breakfast Tortilla Pie Tips/FAQ

  • Can I use fresh tortillas? Yes! If using fresh tortillas, cook the tortillas on non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, 30 seconds per side, until lightly browned and puffy. Set aside.
  • Can I make this vegetarian? Absolutely! I do this all the time. Substitute the chorizo for meatless meat crumbles or chopped mushrooms, or more beans!
  • Can I use ground beef? Definitely. You can use your favorite ground meat in this recipe.
