Description

These Breakfast Enchiladas are a delicious make-ahead dish perfect for a savory morning meal. Filled with a hearty combination of breakfast sausage or bacon, hash browns, eggs, and cheese, these enchiladas are baked to golden perfection. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for a satisfying breakfast treat.


Ingredients

Tortillas:

  • 8 large flour tortillas

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup frozen hash browns, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Egg Mixture:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Other:

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
  • Chopped green onions and cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Cook Meat: Cook the sausage or bacon in a skillet until browned, then drain excess fat.
  3. Combine Filling: In a bowl, mix meat, hash browns, and half of the cheeses. Fill tortillas with mixture, roll up, and place in baking dish.

Notes

  • You can prep this the night before and bake in the morning.
  • Swap in sautéed veggies for a vegetarian version or use turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Serve with salsa or sour cream.
