(Courtesy of maebells.com)

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. sausage
1 1/2 c. fresh spinach, finely chopped
2 oz. cream cheese (reduced-fat is fine)
1/2 c. ricotta cheese
6 large eggs
6-8 corn tortillas
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat a large skillet to medium heat and cook sausage until brown, crumbling as you go.  Drain off any grease and remove from the heat.  Add in the cream cheese and the chopped spinach, stir well until the cream cheese is melted.

Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and layer corn tortillas in the bottom.  Depending on the shape of your dish, you will need 3-4.

Place half of the sausage mixture on top of the tortillas.  You will probably think it isn't enough but is is.

Top the sausage mixture with another layer of tortillas.  Place the remaining sausage mixture over the top.

Beat the eggs and ricotta until completely combined.  You want there to be no lumps left.  Pour the egg mixture over the casserole.  Sprinkle with sale and pepper.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Top the casserole with the shredded cheese and bake 30 minutes.
