Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients:

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage or bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (10 oz) can green chile enchilada sauce or salsa verde
  • Chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, scramble the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until just set. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked sausage (or bacon) and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

    Spoon the egg mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla, then roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese and all of the Monterey Jack cheese.

  3. Cover and bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Cool and garnish: Let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with green onions and cilantro, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • These enchiladas can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning.
  • Add diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra veggies.
  • Serve with sour cream, salsa, or avocado on the side.
