Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.

Stir in brewed coffee and milk until smooth.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over each layer before adding the next tortilla.

Continue layering until all tortillas and batter are used, finishing with batter on top.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
