  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, bacon, or diced ham
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a skillet with butter until just set.
  3. Stir in cooked breakfast meat, 1 cup of cheese, and any optional veggies.
  4. Spoon egg mixture onto tortillas, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in prepared dish.
  5. Mix sour cream (or cream cheese) with enchilada sauce and pour over the tortillas.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish with cilantro and serve with salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

  • Use chorizo for a spicier filling or sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian option.
  • Add hash browns or black beans for extra texture and flavor.
  • Assemble ahead and refrigerate overnight; bake with sauce in the morning.
  • Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; reheat covered in oven or microwave.
  • Freeze before or after baking; add sauce just before baking if freezing unbaked.
