Breakfast Enchiladas Tips

What else can you put in breakfast enchiladas?

It’s easy to swap ingredients in or out to suit your tastes. Instead of (or in addition to) chorizo or sausage, add chopped cooked bacon or ham. Toss in extra bell peppers, or add some heat with a minced jalapeno pepper. For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with shredded cooked hash browns. For garnishes, add diced tomatoes, cubed avocado, salsa or pico de gallo, or a sprinkling of cilantro.

Can you make breakfast enchiladas ahead of time?

Definitely! Assemble the breakfast enchiladas the night before. Cover the baking dish and store in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, bake as directed. Here are more make-ahead breakfast recipes you’ll want to add to your recipe box.

What can you serve with breakfast enchiladas?

Serve the enchiladas with your favorite breakfast side dishes. Indulge in hot breakfast potatoes, muffins or your favorite quick bread, or even simple slice of toast with jelly or jam. The sky’s the limit!
