Low Carb Breakfast Enchiladas


Once I peeked in the oven and saw this, I had a childhood flashback to a very specific cartoon character reaction to being fed. I then spent half an hour Googling it because I knew I was not crazy. 


Meet Snuffles! This was also my reaction to smelling and seeing these enchiladas baking! You will also feel this way upon eating them. Promise.


  • (1-pound) package hot ground pork or chicken sausage
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • green onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 14 large eggs, beaten 
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Package 8 Mission low carb flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • Bearnaise or Hollandaise Sauce (I cheated and bought the mix)

  • Toppings/condiments: More sliced green onions and/or chopped fresh cilantro, serve with salsa or sour cream if desired
  1. Make sauce according to  package directions and keep warm.
  2. Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and cilantro, and sauté 1 minute. Add eggs, salt, and pepper, and cook, without stirring, until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue to cook until eggs are thickened but still moist; do not stir constantly. Remove from heat, and gently fold in 1 cup sauce and sausage.

  1. Spoon about 1/2 cup egg mixture down the center of each flour tortilla; roll up. Place, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13- x- 9-inch baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with jack cheese.
  2. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly. Garnish and serve.
