Ingredients

  • Tortillas: 6 medium flour tortillas, soft and pliable for rolling the filling
  • Eggs: 6 large eggs, beaten to create a fluffy, creamy texture
  • Shredded Cheese: 1 cup cheddar or Mexican blend, adds gooey richness

  2. In a skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until soft, then add beaten eggs, salt, and pepper, stirring until just set
  3. Lay out the greased baking dish for easy assembly
  4. Fill each tortilla with the egg mixture, sprinkle with cheese, roll up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish

  6. Spoon salsa over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro
  7. Plate warm enchiladas and enjoy a flavorful, comforting breakfast

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking
  • Use medium heat when cooking eggs to avoid rubberiness
