Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the diced Roma tomatoes, cumin powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk to combine.
Step 5
Fold the sautéed onion and tomato mixture, diced green chiles, and chopped cilantro into the egg mixture.
Step 6
Layer half of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish over the cheese layer.
Step 8
Top with the remaining shredded cheese and sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips evenly over the top.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Step 10
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with a side of salsa or guacamole, if desired!
