A great breakfast dish, enchiladas filled with chicken, onion, bell pepper and cheese, topped with an egg, milk and cheese mixture and baked in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce (Tabasco or similar)

Method

Prepare the chicken filling
In a frying pan over medium heat add the vegatable oil and cook the onion, garlic and bell peppers for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add the chicken and stir well. Remove from heat.

Assemble the enchiladas
Preheat oven at 350 F.

Place about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on a tortilla. Sprinkle with equal amount of the grated cheese. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place it, seam side down in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk, flour and pepper sauce and continue beating until you get a smooth mixture.

Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the egg mixture is set.
