Breakfast Enchiladas

Yet another enchiladas recipe for you. I’m starting to think I need to create a special enchilada section on the site! We just can’t seem to get enough enchiladas these days. This is actually one of the first meals I’ve cooked from start to finish since coming out of the “blechs,” mainly because it didn’t involve raw meat. I used some ham that I’ve had in the freezer…and the rest was easy.

Another reason I made these…I need to use up everything we have in the house. Why?

BECAUSE WE FINALLY HAVE A CONTRACT ON THE HOUSE!!!

And if all goes well, we’ll be moving the 2nd week of August!

While we are sad to leave our family, friends and church family in Dayton, we are thrilled to be on our way to Texas and starting our “new life” down there! We have a very busy couple of weeks coming up, with me packing, traveling and lining up everything for the move to San Antonio. So I’ll be having a few friends guest posting while I’m “dealing with life as it comes.” I’m looking forward to settling in in San Antonio, sharing my new kitchen with you all, and getting back to cooking and sharing more recipes (I’ve got a list half a mile long of recipes to try!!!)

Anyhoo…here are the breakfast enchiladas!

(Oh, and a quick note on the photo…I peeled back the tortilla on the first enchilada so you could see the inside.)
