Making Breakfast Enchiladas can be both fun and simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper over medium heat until softened. Add minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add the Eggs: Whisk the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and pour them into the skillet. Stir gently until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
4. Combine Ingredients: If using, add the cooked chorizo or bacon and black beans to the egg mixture, mixing well.
5. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet until pliable for easier rolling.
6. Assemble: Spoon a generous amount of the egg mixture into the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll them up tightly.
7. Place in Baking Dish: Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
8. Top with Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with additional cheese.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
