This is a super easy and very filling recipe that can be prepared the night before. Then all you have to do is bake it the next morning! You will need some low carb tortillas though, so if you don't already have a favorite brand, check out my comparison article:

How to Make Low Carb Breakfast Enchiladas
Make the filling by combining diced ham, shredded cheese (I used a Mexican blend), and finely chopped green onion.
Place about a heaped half cup of the ham mixture into each low carb tortilla.
Season with black pepper, and carefully roll up. Place seam-side down in a baking dish that's been sprayed with some non-stick spray. Continue with the remaining three tortillas. In a jug, beat together some eggs and heavy cream.
Pour it over the enchiladas, cover the baking dish with foil, and place in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight. When ready to cook, preheat the oven. Bake (covered) for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs have set. Sprinkle some more cheese over the top.
Return to the oven for another few minutes or until the cheese has melted. Serve, garnished with chopped chives, green onions, cilantro, or parsley.
The egg completely soaks into the tortillas as it cooks, so you if you cut each enchilada in half you can actually pick it up and hold it your hand – sort of like a Hot Pocket or similar! It does get a little messy but tastes SO good with all that melted cheese and delicious ham!
This is also a great dish to make at the weekend and enjoy the leftovers during the week! Just grab an enchilada and reheat it in the microwave for a minute or two. So easy and convenient!
