Why You’ll Love Loaded Breakfast Enchiladas

These breakfast enchiladas are killer! I am not a huge enchilada fan but these may have seriously changed my life. They’re loaded with softly scrambled eggs, juicy breakfast sausage, green chilies, and lots (and lots) of cheese!

I’m into a sweet breakfast as much as the next person, but there’s something to be said for a savory morning meal to set you up for a successful day (or is that just me?). These enchiladas are loaded with goodness so they would be great to serve at a brunch to change up the pace from the typical coffee cakes and donuts.

Just before baking these bad boys, smother them in a green chile sauce and even more cheese for ultimate flavor and texture heaven. Then, to go a step further, serve them with pico de gallo and you’ve got a hearty breakfast whipped up for your crew! Serve these enchiladas with a side of fruit and you may never look at other breakfast’s the same way again. 

Ingredients for Breakfast Enchiladas

These enchiladas are loaded and the secret here is that you can load them up even more if you want. But wait, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. 

You’re going to start with breakfast sausage (plant-based is fine too!), onions, garlic, eggs, green chilies, and Colby jack cheese. Those are the innards of this meal, but then you’re going to wrap it all in flour tortillas and smother it in green chile sauce (I like Stoke’s) and more cheese, of course. 

Don’t stress too much about the ingredients, though! This is how my family became obsessed with breakfast enchiladas, but you can alter it to your family’s preferences too. For example, if the green chilies and chile sauce don’t sit right with you – omit them! You could swap the chile sauce for tomato sauce or taco sauce. And instead of chilies, add in some beans and corn! Make this dish your own and enjoy it!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and set it aside. 

Step 2: Cook Sausage

In a large skillet, brown your sausage, onion, and garlic, until the sausage is cooked through. Spoon this mixture into a bowl and then set it aside. In the same skillet, scramble your eggs. I like the softly scrambled, but cook them how you like them. Add the scrambled eggs to the bowl with the sausage and then stir in the green chilies and shredded cheese. 

Step 3: Assemble Tortillas and Bake

Place a small amount of your mixture down the middle of a tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the seam side down in your prepared pan, and then fill the remaining tortillas and place them seam side down until the pan is full. Pour the green chile sauce over the enchiladas, coating evenly, and then sprinkle with more cheese. Bake the dish uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or unit, the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
