Ingredients
  

  • For the Filling
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • ½ cup black beans (optional)
  • ¼ cup sautéed onions or peppers (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Enchiladas
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups salsa verde (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup additional shredded cheese for topping
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sour cream or Mexican crema, for serving
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Egg Filling : In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook eggs gently, stirring occasionally, until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup shredded cheese and optional beans or vegetables.
  • Step 2: Warm the Tortillas : Heat tortillas on a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas : Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon a portion of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour salsa verde over the top, making sure each enchilada is well covered. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the enchiladas.
  • Step 4: Bake : Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Step 5: Serve : Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
