Ingredients
Scale
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 lb pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 eggs, scrambled
- 2 cups hash browns, cooked
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese across each tortilla.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly, placing them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to cook the gravy over medium heat until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the prepared sausage gravy over the enchiladas in the baking dish, ensuring they are fully covered with the rich gravy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and the gravy is bubbly.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional cheddar cheese or chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the filling with other ingredients like bell peppers, onions, or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- You can make the sausage gravy ahead of time and refrigerate it, reheating when needed.
- For a lighter version, you can use lean sausage or substitute part of the milk with a lower-fat option.
