Ingredients
Scrambled Eggs:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, finely diced
- 75g / 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 red chilli, finely diced
- 2 sausages (breakfast sausages or Italian style)
- 5 free-range large eggs
- 43g / 1/3 cup creme fraiche
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Handful of coriander, finely chopped
Enchiladas:
- 400 g passata
- 1 tbsp creme fraiche,
- 1 tbsp Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
- 100 g / 3.5 oz grated cheese
- 1 packet Gran Luchito Soft Tacos
To Serve:
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, finely diced
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C. In a non-stick frying pan, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot enough, add the onion, cherry tomatoes, and chilli. Stir and let it cook for a couple of minutes. You can now add the sausage meat (remove the casing) and break the meat into the pan. Fry it for 5 minutes approx. or until golden brown.
- In the meantime crack the eggs into a bowl, add the creme fraiche, a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk briefly. Once the sausage mixture has got a bit of colour add the egg mixture to the pan and stir gently over medium heat. Allow the eggs to get firmer but be careful not to overcook them. Once your soft scrambled eggs are ready, remove them from the heat and scatter the coriander on top.
- To make the red enchilada sauce in a blender add the passata, creme fraiche, Chipotle Paste, salt and pepper, and blend the sauce smoothly. Prepare a medium-sized baking dish, then start stacking the enchiladas. In a Soft Taco, add a spoonful of scrambled eggs and sausage mixture, then wrap and roll into a taquito-like shape. Repeat the same process until you use all your filling and your baking dish is full.

FAQs
Are enchiladas healthy?
Enchiladas are considered a comfort food, and not so much a healthy food. They contain a lot of cheese, calories and refined carbohydrates, which are high in saturated fat. So it's best not to eat them regularly.
Do Mexicans eat enchiladas for breakfast?
Mexicans eat enchiladas at any time of day. You can often find them on breakfast menus in restaurants. They are also made at home early in the morning.
Can you prepare enchiladas ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble these breakfast enchiladas the night before, cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate until you are ready to bake them in the morning! Just save the step where you add the grated cheese at the end, and do this in the morning just before you bake them.
