Tex-Mex Hash Breakfast Casserole

Thanks to the ever so lovely Paleomg.com, we discovered this amazing recipe. Eating Paleo has gotten easier as the time passes, but sometimes, you still crave the foods you love. I absolutely love enchiladas, tortillas, burritos, basically anything mexican food. The problem with that is they are always made with flour tortillas, or corn tortillas, as well as beans and rice, and that just isn't in our eating guidelines.

Enter the Casserole.

This amazingness hit the spot. You can literally eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, the author of PALEOMG.COM suggests you eat it for breakfast. Personally, I like it warm and usually for dinner, but everyone is different.

Here is the recipe.
