Okay, when was the last time breakfast looked THIS good? We’re talking about your favorite tortillas stuffed with shredded potatoes (aka homemade hash browns), spiced up black beans, and scrambled eggs, then we drizzled my homemade ranchero sauce all over it and just for good measure, tossed on a handful of shredded cheese. YES FRIENDS, I went there. We’re making BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS. This is the breakfast casserole of your dreams. And, i’ll do you one better. You can prep the ranchero sauce, the shredded potatoes, and the black beans from the night before. So all you need to do on Sunday morning is scramble up the eggs, load the tortillas, and bake it off. <– And hopefully you can catch a break and relax and enjoy a hot cup of coffee with some peace and quiet. I don’t know about you, but Sundays are INSANE around here. I’ll take every minute I can get. I made a very conscious decision to keep these breakfast enchiladas vegetarian friendly, but you can always add in some cooked ground beef, ground turkey, or anything else you please. I mean, I seriously wanted to add in a couple handfuls of baby spinach, and some mushrooms, but let’s keep that for a different time, shall we? I can’t show all my cards at once now, can I? Seriously guys. Let me be your fearless leader for a couple seconds while I convince you these breakfast enchiladas are totally worth it. And you know what, you can even serve these at a brunch and watch all your guests swoon over these completely vegetarian, loaded with nutrition and real food enchiladas <– you know I even SHREDDED my own potatoes for this bad boy. That’s gotta be worth something. Let’s talk sauce. Okay, I think I drilled it in you enough a few days ago when I said you NEED this ranchero sauce in your life. But, really that’s what makes these breakfast enchiladas oh so much better. Remember the peppers and onions and garlic and tomatoes? Now combine those with the potatoes, melty cheese, black beans and scrambled eggs. Are you seeing the picture. It’s ALL there. And that’s it guys! Quick and brief today because I’d like you to run to the kitchen and start prepping the sauce the minute you’re done reading this. Did I mention it’s one of those sauce. The rare moment when the stars all align and you actually find a sauce that tastes better when it sits in the refrigerator for a day or two. Also, this is totally like eating huevos rancheros stuffed inside tortillas with hash browns. And who objects to hash browns? Not even a potato disliker like me. Seriously what are you waiting for? Have a fab weekend!
IS THIS A GOOD CHOICE FOR YOU?
You can use the pre-shredded potatoes that you find in the refrigerated section of your grocery store if you’d like. Just measure about 1 heaping cup to replace the 1 medium potato I used.

The nutritional information provided is for 1/10th of the breakfast enchiladas recipe. This includes the SAUCE and the FILLING but doesn’t include the tortillas as this will really depend on the kind/size that you like to use!
