Tools You’ll Need

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until just set.
Remove from heat — they will finish cooking in the oven.

Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas
Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a portion of scrambled eggs, crumbled beef bacon, and a sprinkle of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese down the center.
Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Step 3: Add the Sauce and Cheese
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 4: Bake
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Top the enchiladas with sliced avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Mexican Breakfast Enchiladas
Don’t Overcook the Eggs – Keep them slightly soft since they’ll bake further in the oven.
Warm the Tortillas – Makes them easier to roll without cracking.
Use Good Enchilada Sauce – A flavorful sauce makes a big difference!
Customize the Fillings – Add veggies, beans, or swap beef bacon for turkey or veggie options.
Bake Until Bubbling – Ensures the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is perfectly melty.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit Salad – A light, refreshing side to balance the rich enchiladas.
Mexican Rice – Adds a hearty, festive touch.
Refried Beans – Classic and comforting.
Churros or Cinnamon Sugar Donuts – For a sweet breakfast treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
   Yes! Assemble the enchiladas and refrigerate overnight. Add sauce and bake fresh in the morning.
2. Can I use corn tortillas?
   Definitely! Just warm them well before rolling to prevent tearing.
3. How spicy is this recipe?
   Mild, depending on your enchilada sauce. Add diced jalapeños or a spicier sauce for more heat.
4. Can I make it vegetarian?
   Absolutely! Skip the beef bacon and add black beans, sautéed veggies, or plant-based sausage.
5. What cheese works best?
   Cheddar and Monterey Jack melt beautifully, but pepper jack, mozzarella, or a Mexican cheese blend also work great.
