Expert Tips

  • Diced red onions and avocado make a nice garnish in addition to the cilantro.
  • If you would like to add a little more heat to your breakfast enchiladas, finely chop a serrano chile and add to the onion in the sauce.
  • Want to switch up your breakfast enchiladas? Shredded Colby Jack or plain shredded cheddar cheeses make great substitutes for the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
