– 1 cup diced cooked chicken or breakfast sausage (optional)
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 small onion, diced

Creating these amazing Breakfast Enchiladas is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin if using.
4. Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
5. Add Proteins: If using cooked chicken or sausage, stir it into the scramble until evenly distributed.
6. Warm Tortillas: If desired, warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them more pliable.
7. Fill Tortillas: Spoon a small amount of the egg and filling mixture onto each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
8. Top with Salsa: Once all tortillas are filled, pour salsa evenly over the enchiladas. Add remaining cheese on top.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Now you have delicious Breakfast Enchiladas ready to be enjoyed!
