Ingredients

Scale

Enchiladas

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1 lb pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 6 eggs, scrambled
  • 2 cups hash browns, cooked

Sausage Gravy

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Enchiladas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cooked and crumbled pork sausage, scrambled eggs, cooked hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese on each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling fully.
  2. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in a greased baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly together to hold their shape while baking.
  3. Make the Sausage Gravy: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute to form a roux. Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the mixture until it thickens to a creamy gravy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the warm sausage gravy evenly over the prepared enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over the top. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the gravy is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve the breakfast enchiladas hot, optionally topped with extra gravy for added richness and flavor. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños to the filling or seasoning.
  • The gravy can be thickened more or less depending on personal preference; adjust milk quantity accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas and flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
