Ingredients

  • 12 ounces — bulk pork sausage

  • 5 (6 inch) — corn tortillas

  • 1 cup — shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 cup — shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup — canned chopped green chiles

  • 6 — eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup — heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup — ricotta cheese

  • ½ teaspoon — chili powder

  • ¼ cup — minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook and stir until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
  • Place 4 tortillas in the prepared pie plate, overlapping and extending 1/2-inch beyond rim; place remaining tortilla in center. Layer sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and green chiles over tortillas. Beat eggs, heavy whipping cream, ricotta cheese, and chili powder together in a bowl; slowly pour into pie plate.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and puffed, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro; cut into wedges.
