Tips:

Make sure your tortillas are fresh and pliable. If they're too dry or stiff, they'll break when you roll them up. To soften them, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a few seconds.
Use a variety of fillings to make your casserole more flavorful. Some popular options include eggs, cheese, potatoes, beans, and meat. You can also add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and onions.
Don't overfill your tortillas. If you put too much filling in them, they'll be difficult to roll up and they might burst open in the oven.
Bake your casserole until it's golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
Serve your casserole hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Mexican tortilla breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday morning. It's also a great way to use up leftover tortillas. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, this casserole is sure to become a family favorite.
