If you’re bored of the same ol’ breakfast every morning, I feel your pain. Protein shakes, cereal, and oatmeal get old after a while.

Lately, I wake up in the morning hankering for something slightly out of the norm.

If I think about what I’m craving long enough several things repeatedly come to mind… Eggs, hot cheesy goodness, spice, and a soft-crispy textural balance. That is a combination I could never get tired of.

So after fantasizing over the perfect breakfast for days and days, I finally have a recipe to share that fits the bill.

This is a breakfast worth getting up for in the morning.

Making Mexican Breakfast Casserole with Hash Brown Top! #breakfast #casserole

My Mexican Breakfast Casserole with Hash Brown Top starts with a simple mixture of eggs, cheese, and chopped flour tortillas.

Then I added onions, red bell pepper, and spicy Old El Paso Green Chiles for flavor. The chiles give the breakfast casserole spicy Mexican appeal, while the tortillas absorb some of the moisture and help the casserole puff up in the oven.

Mixing tender Old El Paso Flour Tortillas into the the mixture also serves another purpose. It gives the egg mixture stability, so it can hold up the amazing golden hash brown crust!

For the Hash Brown Top, I combined thawed hash brown potatoes with Old El Paso Taco Seasoning and melted butter. The taco seasoning coats the shredded potato giving it zesty flavor and color. While the butter ensures the topping crisps in the oven.
