  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups cooked tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 10 fajita-size flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Place the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and crumble it as it cooks.
  2. When the sausage is about halfway cooked, add the diced onion and minced jalapeno.
  3. Remove 1 cup of the sausage mixture with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the remaining sausage mixture in the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer until the gravy thickens. Remove from heat.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet and scramble the eggs until slightly undercooked.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine the reserved sausage mixture, cooked tater tots, scrambled eggs, and half of both cheeses.
  9. Spoon about 1/2 cup of filling into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
  11. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until hot, bubbly, and golden on top.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the eggs before baking since they will continue cooking in the oven.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and texture.
  • For extra spice, leave some jalapeno seeds in the mixture.
  • These enchiladas can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight before baking.
