Cheddar and Chorizo
Chilaquiles Bake

Combining Campbell’s® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup and smoky-spicy canned chipotle chiles, this crowd-pleasing bake is a fiery take on the classic Mexican breakfast dish. To increase the heat level, use two chopped chipotles instead of one. To make the chilaquiles vegetarian, omit the chorizo or use a plant-based chorizo sausage.

Ingredients

  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can Campbell’s® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
  • 1 minced chipotle chile from 1 (7-ounce) can chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons water
  • Unsalted butter, for the pan
  • 1 (12-ounce) bag thick tortilla chips
  • 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 12 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced
  • 6 ounces (1 1/2 cups) shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • Sliced radish, cilantro, and/or sliced avocado, for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. To create the cheese sauce, stir together the Campbell’s® Condensed Cheddar Cheese soup, adobo sauce, chopped chipotles, and water in a medium bowl.
  3. Generously butter a 9” x 13” baking pan. Scatter 1/3 of the allotted amount of the chips, black beans, chorizo, and cheese in an even layer. Dollop and spread 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese sauce evenly over the top. Repeat to create two more layers, until all the chips, beans, chorizo, and cheese sauce are in the baking pan.
  4. Crack the eggs evenly over the top layer, topping with extra cheese to taste.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese is deeply browned and the eggs are set.
  6. Serve topped with radish, cilantro, and avocado, if desired.
QUICK TIP

The remaining sauce and chipotles can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen indefinitely, coming in handy for chili, beans, or marinades.
