Instructions
Creating Spicy Beef Breakfast Enchiladas is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring this delicious dish to your table:
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Step 2: Cook the Scrambled Eggs
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set and slightly creamy. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon some beef filling along the center of the tortilla.
- Add a portion of scrambled eggs on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle with a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 4: Bake the Enchiladas
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.
- Sprinkle any remaining cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, if desired.
