Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Filling
- ½ pound breakfast sausage (pork-free if preferred)
- 6 eggs
- â…“ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Enchiladas Assembly
- 6 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 (10 oz) can green chile enchilada sauce
Optional Toppings
- Sliced green onions
- Diced tomatoes
- Chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Scramble the Eggs: Using the Instant Pot in sauté mode again or a separate pan, scramble the egg mixture gently until just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay out each flour tortilla and distribute the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese evenly onto each one. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the Instant Pot or a suitable oven-safe dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the green chile enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cook in Instant Pot: If using the Instant Pot, set it to the steam or manual mode and cook for about 10-15 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors. Alternatively, you can bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Garnish: Carefully remove the enchiladas from the Instant Pot or oven. Serve hot with optional toppings such as sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro for added freshness and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute pork-free breakfast sausage to make the dish suitable for those avoiding pork.
- Adjust the amount of enchilada sauce according to your preference for sauciness.
- For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the egg mixture or sauce.
- Use whole wheat or corn tortillas if you prefer a gluten-free option, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- To reheat, cover and warm in the Instant Pot on sauté mode or in the oven until heated through.
