Ingredients
Before diving into the cooking process, gather the following ingredients:
– 8 flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or beef
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 cup diced onions
– 2 cups scrambled eggs
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup salsa
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions
– 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
– 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they are soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. Set aside.
4. Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add a spoonful of cooked chicken or beef, followed by a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and a layer of diced tomatoes. Sprinkle some chopped green onions and cilantro on top.
Assembling and Baking
1. Roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from the bottom, to form a tight roll. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the greased baking dish.
2. Pour the remaining cheese over the top of the rolled tortillas.
3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Let the breakfast enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your breakfast enchiladas with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions and cilantro. You can also garnish with a slice of avocado or a side of refried beans for an extra kick.
