- Pour the filling into the tortilla crust then add the sausage mixture. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the quiche to loosen it from the sides of the pan. Carefully loosen the spring and remove the quiche.
- Top with the extra tortilla crumbs and serve with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
