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!

Notes

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.
