Lies And Damn Lies About Pressure Cookers
I was clearly not having an "on" day with my photography skills, so it's really hard to tell from the above
Photo that this is one of my all time favorite slow cooker recipes. I got the idea to make a Mexican
Lasagna (which is still coming), but as I was listing the ingredients it began to seem more and more like
Boom. Mexican breakfast lasagna...ok, sounds better as casserole, so that is what I named it.
I always love to make things simple. So we're just going to combine the liquid ingredients in one bowl,
Along with the solid ingredients in another. That means eggs and milk in a single, and everything else in the other
(except the tortillas).

Mash everything together similar to when we left the cheese mix for our regular slow cooker lasagna.
Feels kinda gross, but it is faster than
Being dainty with a spoon. I like my stuff spicy so I added 3 jalapeños, but I don't think it was enough. I'd
probably add about 5-6 next time.

Next, we're going to layer everything like a lasagna. Tortillas on the bottom, then bean mix, then
Tortillas, etc. I wrote 10-12 corn tortillas in the recipe, but I think I used more than that because I
Bought extra-tiny smallish ones which were freshly made. Yours may be bigger. Basically, you just need to
Make a solid layer, but don't be concerned about making it perfect.

I made the mistake of using a 8 quart slow cooker, so I only had two layers. It did not make the meal
Taste bad, but it just made it look less impressive. If you use an additional large slow cooker like that, I'd
Probably double this recipe, or 1.5x it based on how much food you want to make.
Otherwise, this is more appropriate for a 6-quart slow cooker.
After all of your layers are done, take the liquid mixture and pour it over the top. Everything will soak
Through the cracks and provide liquid for the slow cooker to cook.

When the dish is finished, you will have a nice layer of cooked corn tortillas on top. Remember, it's very
Important to use corn tortillas, or you will end up with a doughy mush at the end.
About corn tortillas is that as they soak up the milk, they soften, and in the end they will taste a bit like a
Tamale, which utilize a sort of corn mash to wrap the meat. Anyway, it's delicious.
You may also add an extra layer of cheese on top to produce a more cheesy breakfast. I didn't want the
Extra calories, so I chose to leave it off.

You can see below that I have a few layers going on there. Everything is thoroughly cooked, and it is not
soupy! I actually added a bit less milk than normal to see what would happen, but I think I will add the
Regular amount next time. This one turned out a little dry.

Lighting is terrible and I had something to do that day so I didn't have time to take good photos in the
morning. Sometimes it's really hard to photography with slow cookers because you need to make the
Dish, photograph, then photograph the result 8 hours later.

It performed as expected, and is my best
Pic for extra large slow cookers. You do not see them as large as 8.5 quarts Frequently, and using a digital
interface was a rarity!
