Baked egg and potato dishes are a breakfast classic. However, there are so many variations. I have quite a few on my site. Well, today I have one with a Mexican flair called huevos ranchero casserole. It’s a cross between huevos rancheros and the classic baked potato and egg bake.
This recipe uses tater tots and the eggs get an addition of spices including oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Then it gets a sprinkling of Mexican cheese over the whole dish.
To serve, it gets topped with salsa and sour cream! Delish! Add a little chopped cilantro too if you like.
