Cooking Tools Required

9x13 inch glass baking dish, Cutting board, Double Boiler, Kitchen towels, Measuring cups and spoons, Oven, Saute pan, Sharp Knives, Top Stove

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion small dice
  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 egg large
  • 15 ounce red enchilada sauce about 1 1/2 cups
  • 8 flour tortilla
  • 1 cup monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 5 ounce cotija/queso fresco
  • 3 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 red onion small dice

Instructions

  • Sautee the peppers and onions in a little olive oil for about 5 minutes, until they’ve softened and the onions start to become translucent
  • Add in the breakfast sausage and spices and crumble it up with your spatula
  • Cook everything together for about 6-8 minutes until the sausage is fully cooked
  • Add in the beaten eggs and stir them into the sausage mixture
  • Cook them for about 1 or 2 minutes, until they’ve just set like a soft scramble
  • Pour some enchilada sauce in a 13×9-inch baking dish
  • This will help prevent the enchiladas from sticking to the bottom of the casserole
  • Fill each tortilla with the sausage and egg filling, roll it up and place it in the baking dish seam side down
  • Then pour the remaining enchilada sauce all over the tortillas and top everything with some shredded cheese
  • Bake at 375°F until the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes and voila!
  • Garnish with the crumbled cotija, the chopped cilantro and the red onion
