Description

Savory breakfast enchiladas filled with scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and cheese, smothered in a creamy roasted poblano sauce and baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Roasted Poblano Sauce:
  • 23 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and seeded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add corn, season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a nonstick pan until just set.
  4. Blend roasted poblanos, sour cream, milk, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth to make sauce.
  5. Warm tortillas to soften. Fill each with scrambled eggs, sautéed veggies, and a bit of cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour poblano sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
