Enchiladas for Breakfast? Why not?

Tips for Making the Breakfast Beef Enchiladas
- We like to make ours in a 10 1/2” cast iron skillet, however, if you don’t have that size or don’t want to use your cast iron you could do it in an 8×8 pan.
- To cut down on time you could cook the sausage ahead of time so all you have to do is layer the ingredients and pop it in the oven.
- This dish reheats great in the microwave, so if you have leftovers you are set for an easy breakfast the next morning.
