Gary's Breakfast Enchiladas are a perfect way to start your day with a zesty and savory breakfast. These enchiladas are a great option for feeding a crowd and are easy to customize with different types of sausage or toppings. The creamy Monterey Jack cheese perfectly complements the spicy sausage and tangy green enchilada sauce. We recommend taking a bit of time to prepare this delicious dish at home, and enjoy it as a satisfying breakfast or brunch with your loved ones.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375°F /190°C.
2.In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and water, stirring occasionally until scrambled. Set aside.
3.In the same skillet, cook the diced sausage or substitute chorizo over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Add the green onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the scrambled eggs and mix.
4.Spread about 1/4 cup of the green enchilada sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5.Warm up the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side in the microwave or on a skillet until pliable. Spoon about 1/4-1/3 cup of the egg and sausage mixture into each tortilla and roll up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam side down in the baking dish.
6.Spread the remaining green enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
7.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.

PROS

CONS

This recipe calls for a decent amount of cheese, which can make it a high calorie and fatty meal.
They may not be the healthiest breakfast option.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this breakfast dish is not the healthiest option, it does provide a good source of protein from the eggs and sausage. Green onions are also a source of vitamins A and C. Corn tortillas can be a healthier alternative to flour tortillas as they are lower in carbs and calories.
