Ingredients
  

Main Protein
  • 6 large large eggs, scrambled Fresh eggs will provide the best flavor and texture.
  • 1 pound crumbled sausage Ensure you fully cook the sausage to avoid any health risks.
Starch/Pasta
  • 4 pieces tortillas Flour tortillas are typical, but whole wheat or gluten-free options can be used.
Liquids/Dairy
  • 2 cups milk Whole milk will give a richer flavor, but any type will work.
Aromatics & Vegetables
  • 1 cup hash browns Crispy hash browns add a delightful crunch.
Optional Finishing Ingredients
  • 2 cups cheese Grate cheese fresh for the best melt.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Using the same skillet, stir in the scrambled eggs with the cooked sausage and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook until crispy and golden, about 5 minutes.
Assembly
  1. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds. Place equal portions of the sausage mixture in the center of each tortilla and roll them tightly.
Cooking
  1. Wipe the skillet clean and brown another 1/2 pound of sausage for the gravy over medium heat, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour until combined, gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolled enchiladas in a baking dish, pour the sausage gravy over the top, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, consider mixing sautéed peppers or onions into the filling. Customize your toppings with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños. For a special occasion, serve with a drizzle of sour cream.
