Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
Crumble the sausage into a skillet and brown over medium heat. Drain any excess oil.
Add the onions. When the onions are translucent, mix in the beans, bell pepper, corn and scallion. Remove from heat.
Lightly brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan with olive oil and place one tortilla in the pan. Scoop about half of the sausage and vegetable mixture and spread into an even layer.
Pour some of the eggs over the mixture and top with cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortilla, filling, egg, and cheese. Place a final tortilla layer and top with cheese.
Lightly cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is baked through and no longer jiggly. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more to brown. Garnish with with cilantro, tomato, red onion, and scallion.
Carefully slice the tortilla pie and serve with sour cream, salsa and avocado.

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!
