Easy Make Ahead Sweet And Spicy Breakfast Enchiladas

I have an easy, breezy breakfast solution-recipe for you today. But, really you can use this recipe for a breakfast, brunch or dinner. The best part is it can be make ahead, covered and stored in the fridge then heated up. Or you can make it and serve it right away. My family is a group of “Flavor Seekers.” They love sweet and spicy recipes. Do you? Today’s is mild and not overly spicy! But, I’ll give you some heat options too.

If you’ve been keeping up with us you know my daughter is doing summer school this year. Which makes me wicked tired! I mean, really where is our summer break?? It can’t come here soon enough! And then before we know it back to school will be here. Sigh. I have to admit unless I grab a big cup of brew I’m sleep walking in the mornings. Please tell me I’m not alone? Any other night owls out there?

What I love about today’s recipe is you can make it ahead, pull it out and heat when needed. Ahem, easy breezy summer meal! Perfect anytime. Don’t forget to check out how to enter the giveaway for two to San Diego, Ca. How fun would that be?? Info. at the end of the post. Let’s get started.

Make Ahead Sweet and Spicy Enchiladas

I’ve been trying to make sure she eats prior to heading to health class. You know, they are learning that breakfast is one of the most important meals. She’s not a traditional breakfast lover. But, she loves enchiladas! So, I thought to myself why not make a breakfast enchilada packed with protein, veggies and topped with goodness!

• Toppings can include: Pineapple Salsa * heat index mild, Mango Habanero Salsa * heat index medium or Roasted Red Pepper Salsa * heat index mild.

Cheesy Egg And Black Bean Enchiladas

Here’s the ingredients you’ll need:

• 4 eggs
• butter
• milk
• 12 white corn tortillas
• 1 can organic black beans
• Sharp cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
• Avocados
• Green onions
• 1 tbsp. flour
• Non Stick Spray
• Pineapple Salsa (or one of the other’s mentioned earlier)

This recipe has 4 easy steps to make it. Make the recipe ahead of time, serve right away after baking only 10 minutes at 350 degrees. It will take a bit longer to heat up if you are pre-making, covering and chilling prior to baking. Maybe about 20 minutes? Depending on your oven and altitude. You can easily double this recipe for a full dozen enchiladas. I made half a dozen because there is only three of us at home.

• Too hot out? After assembling, just plate and microwave for a few minutes. Not, my preferred method but, it works. I get it, summers get hot here too.

The Directions-Steps for making the sweet and spicy recipes: Breakfast Enchiladas

1. First pre spray your baking dish, set it to the side. * (baking dish size 8×8 for 6 enchiladas, 9×12 for 12)
2. Shred your cheese, set to the side (or purchase pre shredded)
3. Chop your green onions
4. Slice your avocados
5. Drain black beans and set into a bowl

Then, set all those to the side. Pull out your skillet and make 4 scrambled eggs. Crack, mix them in a bowl with a splash of milk to 1/4 cup and add to heated skillet/ pan with 2 tbsp. of melted butter. On a medium heat scramble until just done. Do not over cook!

Next microwave or heat your white corn tortillas until they are soft and flexible. I add mine to a plate 6 at a time, cover with a paper towel, sprinkle with water and heat on high for 2 minutes.

Roll up your enchiladas by adding any or all the ingredients. Roll them one by one, then add them to your baking dish pressing together tightly.

Now, you can either make homemade cheese sauce. Like I did and show you how below. Or sprinkle cheese or nacho sauce on top of the tortillas add the Pineapple Salsa and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Just enough to heat up all the ingredients, melt the cheese and warm the salsa.

Here’s how to make the cheesy sauce:

Melt 2 tbsp. butter in a non stick pan. Add 1 kitchen tablespoon (not measuring spoon) of flour to the melted butter. Stirring quickly, then add 1/2 cup of milk. Add about 1 cup shredded cheese to the mix and stir until smooth and starts to bubble. Take off the heat and pour directly over enchiladas!
