These enchiladas are so delicious and filled with all things comfort when it comes to breakfast foods. They’re so much better than the usual eggs and bacon, or bland oatmeal and are sure to impress. With these enchiladas you can leave your guests (or those pajama-clad kids of yours) totally satisfied and with full bellies!

One of the many wonderful things about these is that you can prepare them the night before! Simply roll everything up into a flour tortilla, place into a baking dish and let them chill in the fridge until the morning.

When you’re ready for breakfast, just make the enchilada-salsa to cover those yummy enchiladas with. Before you know it you’ll have the most heavenly enchiladas ready for those hungry guests!
When I tell you these are the best Breakfast Enchiladas I’ve ever had, I’m so serious. They are so cheesy, flavor-filled, and definitely a welcome change from yet another omelette or bowl of cereal. Even better, they are versatile and can easily be adjusted to suit your preference! 

You may also be happy to hear that you can definitely disregard the ‘breakfast’ title. You can enjoy these enchiladas whatever time of day you feel like. We always love a good breakfast for dinner at my house!

INGREDIENTS FOR BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS

These Breakfast Enchiladas are made with all of your favorite breakfast foods! From bacon and sausage to scrambled eggs and cheese, these enchiladas have it all!

Bacon: a breakfast staple. It’s not considered breakfast until you break out the bacon!

Sausage: another breakfast classic. Makes the enchilada heartier and more meat-filled.

Scrambled eggs: adds more protein and helps keep those bellies full.

Cheddar cheese: I think this one speaks for itself. No dish is complete without a layer of gooey cheese. 😉
Tortillas: A significant ingredient that holds these delicious enchiladas together!

Homemade enchilada-salsa: takes the enchiladas to a whole new level! A creamy, refreshing, and oh-so-tasty way to complete your breakfast enchilada.

BREAKFAST ENCHILADA CUSTOMIZATIONS

The options are pretty much endless when it comes to these enchiladas, but here’s a few ideas you might like:

Potatoes: roasted, bite-size potatoes covered in a little bit of salt, pepper, and olive oil would be amazing in these.

Hash browns: another great alternative if you’re looking for something potato-like.

Tater tots: adds some crispiness to the enchiladas and will stay a little crispier than potatoes. Not to mention, who doesn’t love tater tots?

Ham: you don’t just have to use bacon and sausage, ham or even some chicken work just as nicely.

Veggies: mix things up and add some greens to your enchilada! Mushrooms, spinach, tomato, or bell peppers are all tasty options!

CAN YOU MAKE BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS IN ADVANCE?

Definitely! Simply assemble them the night before and cover and place them in the fridge. Wait to make the enchilada-salsa until you’re ready to bake them though. You don’t want them sitting in the enchilada salsa all night because then they’ll be very soggy. 

CAN YOU FREEZE BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS?

I advise against it. The dairy in the enchilada sauce as well as all of the melted cheese tends to not heat back up very well after frozen. The sauce will likely separate and create an unpleasant consistency.

HOW LONG DO BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS LAST?

If fully covered in plastic wrap or foil, they can last up to 3 days stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure that you cover them tightly and leave them in the refrigerator until you’re ready for them. 

HOW DO YOU REHEAT BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS?

Microwave: place enchiladas onto a microwave safe plate, pop them into the microwave, and cook for 30 second intervals until cooked through.

Oven: cover pan in foil and bake at 350° F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
