Ace breakfast with these paleo breakfast enchiladas! They are perfect for Whole30, paleo or even just gluten free diets. Meal prep them on Sunday and enjoy a delicious paleo breakfast all week too.
When doing Whole30 or trying to stick to paleo eating, breakfast can be tough. I always feel like I follow the same routine of bacon and eggs or paleo breakfast meatballs when I’m making a paleo breakfast recipe. That all changed with these paleo breakfast enchiladas though.
To make a paleo breakfast recipe, you obviously have to cut out all grains, refined sugars and a few other key ingredients. To make these breakfast enchiladas paleo friendly, I replaced the tortillas with thin, crepe like eggs.
The filling is a mixture of pulled pork and diced potatoes. You can substitute pretty much any of your favorite breakfast meats though.
Some great filling ideas for the enchiladas:
- Breakfast sausage and sweet potato
- Diced ham and potato
- Pulled pork and butternut squash
- Sage sausage and apple
Want a little cheese without the actual cheese? Toss on some nutritional yeast to get that cheese like texture. That will keep the enchiladas a paleo breakfast but it won’t be Whole30 compliant.
I highly recommend saving the extra enchilada sauce. I gave some to a friend and she said she just wanted to eat it with a spoon! So good and perfect for adding a little extra flavor to so many dishes like (note: these are not all paleo)
- Enchilada Skillet
- Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini
- Tex Mex Chilaquiles
- Enchilada Stuffed Poblano Peppers
I made a batch of these up until the baking the step and then kept them in the fridge until the next day when I was ready to bake and serve them.
You could also make these individually and just heat up the sauce before putting it on top of your rolled up and stuffed egg “crepe.” Any way you make these, you are guaranteed to have a paleo breakfast that tastes anything like diet food!

Heat a crepe pan or large skillet over medium heat. Coat pan in oil and pour in eggs to create a thin, crepe like layer. Cook for 2 minutes and flip. Cook for an addition 1-2 minutes or until done. Repeat with remaining eggs.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To create enchiladas: Spoon pork mixture into egg rounds. Roll up and place in baking pan. Spoon remaining enchilada sauce on top. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Top with tomatoes, cilantro and avocado before serving.

Breakfast Enchiladas is a great idea!
Love that the eggs are the “tortilla” in this recipe. I love using a fried egg as a “soft shell” taco for breakfast on the go!
