Ingredients
Filling Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion (red, brown, white, or yellow), diced
- 1 cup red capsicum (bell peppers), roughly diced
- 400 g crushed tinned tomato (or 14 oz)
- 400 g canned black beans or red kidney beans, drained (or 14 oz)
- 2 tsp paprika powder
- 2 tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp salt
- to taste black pepper
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz bacon, diced (or 250 g)
- 5 large eggs, lightly whisked (or 6 normal eggs)
- 6 soft tortillas (standard size around 20cm/8" in diameter)
- ½ cup cheese
Garnishes
- Diced avocado
- Sour cream
- Coriander/cilantro
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and onion, then sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the diced capsicum and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the remaining filling ingredients and reduce the heat to medium. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
- Clean the pan and return it to high heat. Cook the bacon until it is light golden brown. If there's too much fat, drain some away.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the whisked eggs. Gently stir them in with the bacon until the eggs are almost set but still a little runny. Remove the pan from the heat—the eggs will continue to cook.
- Lay the tortillas on a surface. Divide the filling mixture between them, and add the bacon and egg mixture on top. Sprinkle with cheese, and then roll the tortillas up.
- Place the rolled enchiladas in a baking dish and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese melts.
- Serve with your favorite garnishes, such as sour cream and avocado.
Notes
You can make the filling the night before to save time in the morning. For added flavor, try using different types of cheese or adding spices to the filling. If you like your enchiladas spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling. Feel free to mix and match your ingredients! Substitute bacon with sausage or add veggies like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms to the filling.
