Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups frozen hash browns (thawed) or diced cooked potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- ½ cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, jalapeños, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, cook hash browns in olive oil until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Lightly season.
- Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook in a skillet until just set.
- Fill each tortilla with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and green onions. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour enchilada sauce over tortillas, add extra cheese if desired. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then top with sour cream, avocado, or fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Assemble the enchiladas the night before and refrigerate; bake in the morning.
- Potatoes: Frozen hash browns are convenient; Yukon Gold or russet potatoes add a rustic texture.
- Eggs: Slightly undercook on stovetop since they bake again.
- Tortillas: Warm before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Refrigerate 3-4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat: Microwave for quick heating or bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Variations: Add veggies like spinach, peppers, or mushrooms; swap for gluten-free wraps or vegan cheese/eggs as needed.
