Chorizo Egg And Cheese Enchiladas Recipes

CHORIZO BREAKFAST ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and salt. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and add the egg mixture. Cook until almost firm.
• While the eggs are cooking, brown the chorizo and red bell pepper in a large skillet, crumbling the chorizo as you cook it. Cook until brown. Remove mixture to a separate plate with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain drippings leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
• Add the hash browns to the pan and cook according to package directions. Remove from pan and set aside.
• To assemble the enchiladas, fill the tortillas evenly with the eggs, chorizo mixture, hashbrowns, and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Roll tightly and place seam down in the prepared dish.
• In a small bowl add the enchiladas sauce and cream. Whisk to combine. Pour over the enchiladas making sure to cover all of them. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil after 20 minutes so the cheese can melt and brown.
• Top with the bacon and other desired toppings such as sour cream, green onions, or salsa.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-high heat. Add chorizo; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl. Pour into the skillet; cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.

CHORIZO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chorizo together. Once cooked through pour the meat through a strainer to get rid of all the grease. Return the meat to the skillet.
• Add all of the seasonings to the meat (dried oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder). Stir to combine.
• Prepare the tortillas for filling by heating a cast iron skillet with about 1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable oil). Once the oil is hot enough that it sizzles when you dip in the tortilla then gently place one tortilla at a time into the oil. Allow the tortilla to fry in the oil for about 10 seconds, just long enough to get a slight coloring. Then flip the tortilla and fry the other side. Remove the tortilla, wrap it in a towel to retain the heat and continue with the remaining tortillas.
• If you want to dip each tortilla into the enchilada sauce this is the time to do it, then add the fillings.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef and chorizo mixture onto the tortillas, then roll and place in a baking dish, seam side down. Continue until all the tortillas are filled.
• Pour enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas.
• Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, then open the oven, sprinkle cheese on the top of the enchiladas and continue baking for another 5 minutes.
• Serve warm with rice and beans, or a side salad for a complete meal.

MAKE-AHEAD SAUSAGE AND EGG BRUNCH ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat cook the sausages with onion, crumbling the meat while cooking, until completely cooked; cool completely.
• Place about 1/3 cup of the cooked sausage mixture down the center of each tortilla.
• Sprinkle the mixture with about 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (can use more).
• Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down into the casserole dish.
• In a bowl whisk together flour with half and half cream, cayenne pepper, seasoned salt and black pepper until well combined.
• In a bowl whisk the eggs with flour, cream cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Add in the green bell pepper, then pour over the top of the tortillas.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove from the refrigerator 45 minutes before baking.
• When ready to bake set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle about 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheese on top (can use more or less) return to oven for 2-3 minutes just to melt the cheese.
• Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
• Serve with sour cream and salsa.

POTATO AND CHORIZO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• For the enchilada sauce: Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Transfer the onions and garlic to a blender. Add the stock, chili powder, salt, pepper and tomato paste and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• For the enchiladas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain off the rendered fat. Let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the canola oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry each tortilla until lightly crisp but still pliable, 10 to 15 seconds. Drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
• In a large bowl, toss together the chorizo, home fries or potatoes and 1 cup of the cheese.
• Ladle about 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place about 1/4 cup of the chorizo mixture in the center of each tortilla and roll up. Arrange the filled tortillas in the baking dish seam-side down in a single row from end to end. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the enchiladas cook, combine the sour cream, hot sauce and lime juice in a small bowl.
• Drizzle the enchiladas with the sour cream mixture and garnish with the cilantro.

CHORIZO, EGG AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
• For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
• Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
• Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

CHORIZO HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 2-quart or 11x7-inch baking dish.
• Cook and crumble chorizo in a nonstick pan. Once it is crumbled, add onion and jalapeno and cook until onion is soft.
• Transfer chorizo mixture to a medium bowl.
• Leave the grease from the chorizo in the pan and add the olive oil to it.
• Heat over medium-high heat and add the Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. Cook just long enough to brown the hash browns some and then transfer them to the prepared baking dish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and egg. Pour on top of hash browns and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix into the hash browns.
• Add enchilada sauce to bowl with chorizo mixture and stir to combine. Add chorizo mixture on top of hash browns.
• Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake 10 more minutes.

CHORIZO & EGG ENCHILADAS WITH A GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Chorizo -- To a large sauce pan, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the chorizo and saute until golden brown breaking up the chorizo as it cooks. Cook until golden brown and remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
• Eggs -- Now in the same pan, remove most of the drippings from the chorizo, but I do keep just a little - 1 teaspoon, just for a little flavor. Then I add in the butter, onions, garlic, red pepper, jalapeno and cook until tender and soft. No need to brown them, you just want them soft. Then add in the eggs, salt, pepper and cook until you get a soft scramble. Remember -- they are going to be baked so don't over cook them. Right at the end, toss in the scallions and mix to combine.
• Tortillas -- I wrap 5 at a time in a damp paper towel and microwave for just 30 seconds until lightly warm which makes them plyable. You can also wrap in foil and use the oven if you prefer.
• Filling -- Add the chorizo into the egg mixture and put a heaping spoon into each tortilla. Take 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and divide among the 10 tortillas. Fold over from one edge, tuck the sides in and finish rolling.
• Casserole -- In a 13x9" pan, spray with Pam or a non stick spray. Add 1 can or approximately 10 oz of the enchilada or chile sauce in the casserole dish and place the rolled enchiladas seam side down. Top with the remaining sauce and cheese.
• Bake -- In a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes covered with foil until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Remember, everything is cooked. I bake mine on the middle shelf.
• Serve -- I love to squeeze fresh lime over the top and then serve family style and let everyone help themselves to the garnishes. Anything goes! This is just a wonderful brunch, lunch or dinner. Recipe #389419, are great with this dish for dinner, but so is rice, salad, or just about anything. Have fun and ENJOY!
