My recipe for Overnight Breakfast Enchilada Casserole is a great Saturday brunch that you can prepare Friday evening for a slow, lazy Saturday morning. The only step you’ll have in the morning is to pop it in the oven! Serve this Overnight Breakfast Enchilada Casserole with hash browns or roasted red potatoes with pico de gallo on the side like I did in the photos. And although this is a rather filling meal (the tortillas are huge!), it only comes to 204 calories per enchilada.

Is this recipe for Overnight Breakfast Enchilada Healthy?
Per serving, this casserole has a lot of health benefits. It is low in sugar, low fat, and low calorie. I especially like that that each enchilada has 10 grams of fiber per serving and only 25 grams of carbohydrates. The portion size is filling and with 16 grams of protein per enchilada, each serving will keep you feeling full until lunch time. For more more high-protein recipes, try my Chocolate Protein Waffles!

How to Make this Breakfast Enchilada Casserole
Start by greasing a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, red bell pepper, and onion and cook for 4-6 minutes, until they begin to get soft. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the sausage, diced green chilis and black beans and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Fill each tortilla with ⅓ cup of the filling and roll each tortilla, placing them seam side down in the prepared dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Next, pour the egg mixture over the enchiladas and tightly cover the casserole dish with foil. Store in the refrigerator for several hours, to overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350° F and bake covered for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set. Uncover and evenly sprinkle the Sargento® 4 Cheese Mexican Shredded Cheese over the enchiladas, and bake an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
