Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

8 large flour tortillas

8 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)

1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or diced ham)

1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)

1 small onion, diced

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked sausage and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts.

      In a bowl, whisk the eggs with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, cooking over medium heat until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat.

        Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

          Take a tortilla and fill it with a generous scoop of the egg mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, then roll it up tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

            Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are well coated. Top with any remaining cheese.

              Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

                Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.
