How do you make breakfast enchiladas?

  1. Lightly spray a 9×13 inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the red pepper, onion, and sausage. Combine the cooked sausage mixture with 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Scoop about ⅓ cup of the sausage mixture on the tortilla. Roll up tightly and place the enchilada seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.making Overnight Breakfast Sausage Enchiladas

In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake (with foil on), and then remove the foil and bake for additional 15 minutes.

Bake until the cheese is melted, the eggs are set. The enchiladas will be golden on top.

Garnish with tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, or salsa.

Tips and substitutions:

  • Change out the sausage for bacon or ham.
  • Switch up the Cheddar cheese for Jack cheese.
  • Use regular four tortillas (or favorite flavor, ie, spinach)
  • Leave out the meat and add a can of drained black beans.
