I will admit: I don’t love the taste of eggs. I know that they’re a staple in many of my friends’ diets. A fried egg and toast is heaven for Mr. Suburble. And for me? I’d have to drown the thing in ketchup in order to get through a plate of eggs.

However, after a delicious omelette in California – one that was full of peppers, jalapenos, cheese, and topped with salsa and guacamole –  I realized that egg dishes don’t always have to taste… you know…  “eggy”. Instead, eggs can be a beautiful complement to stronger, more-Tara-friendly flavours.

When Jo-Anna of A Pretty Life put together this Christmas Morning Breakfast hop, my brain immediately travelled away from the traditional. Instead, I thought, “Why not make it a Mexican-inspired egg dish?”

Breakfast enchiladas are ridiculously easy. I made them with egg as the main protein, though Mr. Suburble told me that this breakfast would be even better if I had cooked up some sausage meat and sprinkled it throughout (duly noted, Mr. S.).

First, I scrambled the eggs and put them aside while I prepped the remaining ingredients. When I scramble my eggs, I start by beating my eggs in a bowl with a tablespoon of water. I heat up a pan and add 2 tbsp of butter – stirring occasionally until melted. The eggs are then poured into the hot pan. I do my best to leave the eggs alone – I try my best to fold them over only a few times while they’re cooking. This way, they stay fluffy and light, instead of being scrambled to bits. 

Once the eggs were put to the side, I started preparing the enchiladas. This is the fun part!

Because I was looking for lots of big flavour in the enchilada (to make things less…. eggtastic), I diced jalapeno peppers to sprinkle among the other ingredients. I also included a healthy dollop of refried beans in each wrap. I love me some refried beans.

Assembly takes no time at all. I rolled up each wrap and placed them into a ceramic baking dish. 

I poured enchilada sauce over the wraps and covered them with grated cheese. 20 minutes in the oven later…

Hello…. it’s breakfast!

The cheesy goodness, the spicy notes of the jalapeno…. the delicious crunch of the peppers… I’m starting to get hungry now just thinking about it. I was sold on this meal.

You can take it to the next level with a big dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of guacamole too. And what’s nice is that this meal can be made a day before without baking it. Take it out of the fridge in the morning, pop it into the oven and you’ve got a breakfast to set before guests! 

And like Mr. Suburble says… if you’re feeling like you need more protein, add it! Some cooked sausage or ham would be a lovely addition. Or you could go the other way, and leave the eggs out to make this a vegetarian dish. Either or, it’s a great foundation for a delicious breakfast.
