Brunch for a Crowd

This is a great 'do the night before' breakfast recipe - perfect for Christmas morning. Clean up the mess the day before, pop it in the oven as kids are opening their stockings and by the time you're ready for your first mimosa...breakfast is ready! Mexican food is my all time favorite and this is a great way to add a little feliz navidad to your morning.
Merry Christmas,
Cam
