Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 8 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons cilantro
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are soft and just set. Remove from heat; the eggs will finish cooking in the oven.

Step 5

Stir the cooked sausage and 1 cup of shredded cheese into the scrambled eggs, mixing well.

Step 6

Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/3 cup of the sausage and egg mixture down the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 7

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are well coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve warm with sour cream, if desired.
