The most amazing breakfast enchiladas that my family and I have ever eaten!! These enchiladas are freaking amazing!!
So, a few months ago, my husband asked me to make some breakfast enchiladas. I jumped on it because, I had pinned a recipe from Pinterest that I was dying to try. The recipe was from Carls Bad Cravings, and, let me tell you, I am SO glad that I saved the recipe! This recipe is the BOMB! Like, seriously, my husband, son, and I couldn’t stop going back for more. Needless to say, since then, I’ve made it again and again.
Breakfast Enchiladas are the Perfect Weekend Brunch Recipe!
I made a few minor changes to this recipe, but not many. I just changed the cheeses and a few other things. Be sure to check out the original recipe over at Carls Bad Cravings here!
Now. before you get started. I’d like to warn you that this breakfast enchiladas recipe is a tad bit time consuming; however, you can make these breakfast enchiladas the day before which is always good!

Hi Rosie,
You mentioned this can be made the day before. Do you have any special instructions or tips if I’m going to do that (and I am)?
Thanks!
Oops, nevermind! I see it now. One other question: You mention green onions in the directions but I don’t see them as an ingredient. How much? Or it pretty much whatever you prefer?
I used 3 green onions 🙂
hi rosie we live in france but love your recipes but please can you tell me what are tater tots want to do breakfast enchilada
Potato rounds. Try to Google Tater Tots for more info 🙂
Thanks you so much Rosie. I have used you’re recipe for years now. Great idea when I can’t think of nothing to cook.
Hi Rosie
Are the tater tots frozen, or are they already cooked? Thank you
They are thawed.
Lady your cooking is the best. Remains me of grandma cooking. Thanks for sharing your recipes. You need to have your own TV show. Real talk
Thanks Carolyn M.
Thanks Miss Carloyn!
I agree!!
Rosie,
Is there any reason we couldn’t add additional meats (like sausage) and some scrambled eggs too?
Nope. You can certainly add your favorite meat to the enchiladas 😉
