HOW TO MAKE BLACK BEAN BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS 

 

Let’s begin with our Tortillas:

We are going to lightly fry our tortillas; this makes for easier rolling. Begin by heating oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly fry each tortilla, place on paper towels to drain.

 

We will prepare all components in this recipe in the same skillet. Reduce heat to medium and use the same skillet to prepare eggs.

EASY INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS FOR BLACK BEANS ENCHILADAS

 

Here are a few simple substitutions you can make to my black bean breakfast enchiladas:

Corn Tortillas – corn tortillas are my to-go for enchiladas you can use flour tortillas.  Heat on a comal before dipping into bean sauce.

 

Black Bean Sauce: I used a 15 ounce can of black beans to make my bean sauce. Feel free to use homemade pinto beans to make this sauce. You will need 2 cups of beans. Find my recipe for frijoles here or spice up your canned beans with poblanos which would work well in this recipe also. Find my recipe for poblano pinto beans here.

Scrambled Eggs: Feel free to make the scrambled eggs your own. Roasted veggies mixed in, sliced jalapenos or cheese.
