Amount / Quantity	Ingredients
1 (16 oz.)	Jones Dairy Farm All Natural Pork Sausage Roll, thawed
12	Large eggs
2 cups	Milk
2 teaspoons	Ancho chili powder
2 teaspoons	Cumin
1 teaspoon	Smoked paprika
1 teaspoon	Garlic powder
1 teaspoon	Onion powder
1 teaspoon	Salt
1 teaspoon	Pepper
1/2 teaspoon	Cayenne pepper
6	Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1	Bell pepper, any color, seeded and diced
1 can	Black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can	Corn, drained
1/2	Yellow onion, diced
3	Jalapenos, deveined, seeded, and minced (optional)
4	Garlic cloves, minced
18	Corn tortillas
8 ounces	Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces	White cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup	Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
1	Ripe avocado, sliced or diced (optional)

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble sausage until no pink remains. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Spray a 9×13 pan or large oven-safe skillet with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Whisk thoroughly, then while continuing to whisk, sprinkle in the spices. Keep whisking to prevent the spices from clumping. Combine thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, bell pepper, black beans, corn, onion, jalapenos, and garlic. Toss to combine.
Place 6 tortillas in the bottom of your baking dish or oven-safe skillet, overlapping as needed. Top with 1/3 of the tomato mixture, 1/3 of the cooked sausage, and 1/3 of each cheese. Repeat layers 2 more times beginning with tortillas and ending with cheeses (reserve about ½ cup of cheese for final topping).
Pour egg mixture over the layers.
Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Top with remaining ½ cup cheese, and broil until melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes to “set”.
Sprinkle with cilantro and avocado if using, slice, and serve.
To Make Ahead:

Prepare steps 2 through 7 as directed. Refrigerate overnight. Remove casserole from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350° F, then follow steps 8-10.
