Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a 10-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo, garlic, onion, and red chile in the hot skillet until chorizo is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chili powder, followed by green chiles and 1/2 of the black beans. Stir in 1 cup Mexican cheese blend.

Step 3

Mix eggs, milk, and baking mix together in a medium bowl. Pour into the skillet. Top with remaining beans and Mexican cheese. Sprinkle cilantro on top.
