RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Putting this Breakfast Tortilla Strata dish together and chilling it the night before gives the tortillas time to soak up the batter, which makes the strips puff when baked the next day.

  • 1 cup bottled salsa
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 10 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat Mexican blend or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Tasty but needs more beans and more salsa. I like the way the tortillas soak up the sour cream mixture though.

Yummier than I thought it would be! I used grated pepperjack cheese. Would be delicious with either green salsa or red. Next time I will add some grated cooked veggies to get my picky kiddo a painfree way to get his veggies. I think a cup of cauliflower or celery root would be a nice addition.

I wasn't as impressed as others with this recipe. It was fine, but not special. I found myself thinking of ways to improve it: Replace the salsa with green and use green chilies instead of beans - add chorizo, it needed SOMETHING to make it more special. Probably won't make again without significant changes. Just me.

I made this for a breakfast meeting and everyone loved it! I did exactly what the recipe called for except that I added a little extra cheese. Mmm-mmm-good. Will definitely be making this one again.

Made this for a potluck and served it with sour cream and cilantro on the side. Gone in a flash! I would have preferred more black beans and for my taste will probably use medium salsa instead of mild next time. I also increased the amounts of ingredients by 50% and baked in a 9x13 dish. Needed to bake 45-50 minutes that way.

This was fabulous! Would make again and for company. Did not make any modifications and turned out perfect. I served w/ blueberry muffins and mimosas. Very easy to make and great because it is done the night before.

This strata was very tasty but it took a lot longer to cook than the recipe specified. Like at least 15 minutes longer.
