Creation of the Breakfast Enchilada Stack
This is the ultimate post – “Taco Tuesday” recipe. If for some odd reason you have leftover taco ingredients (RARE) use them to assemble this tasty little breakfast enchilada stack. This was one of those happy kitchen accidents. I didn’t want to waste the leftovers but needed breakfast- BOOM. The breakfast enchilada stack was born.
Every Wednesday this offseason, we have hosted the offensive line at the house for dinner. Nothing fancy just good food, friends, and their families. Most recently, we did the ultimate taco bar. Leftovers weren’t expected but there were a few ends and odds stuffed in the fridge.
I know I am constantly RAVING about my homemade enchilada sauce but seriously, it’s a lifesaver. Everything is good smothered in it and it holds up well in the fridge. A staple in this house. 
I think the BEST part about this recipe is that you don’t have to heat up any of the components prior to layering it all together; except for the scrambled eggs. You could also do a fried egg on top after baking the stack!
