When I have tortillas around, sometimes I’ll whip up breakfast enchiladas on the weekend or for those nights when I want breakfast for dinner. Now – when I first started cooking, I would use enchilada sauce in a can but a couple years ago, I made some turkey and cheese enchiladas with a homemade enchilada sauce that changed my outlook forever. More than likely, everything you need is in your pantry already. The secret ingredient – a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder simmered in the sauce which adds a whole new dimension of flavor taking this dish from ordinary to extraordinary. After making the sauce, you can brown some of your favorite sausage (I use mild Italian sausage), add some softly scrambled eggs and a combo of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses and you have a breakfast dish that will have everyone singing your praises.
These Breakfast Enchiladas are perfect for brunch this weekend. The homemade enchilada sauce – that needs to be in your repertoire permanently for whenever you have an enchilada craving.
