Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-fat milk. Season with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Add the diced bell pepper and chopped onion, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir gently to scramble the mixture until the eggs are just set. Remove from the heat.
Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 of the egg mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with a small handful of shredded cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and egg mixture.
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour salsa evenly over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with any remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are warmed through.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Weight Watchers Breakfast Enchilada!
