Breakfast Enchiladas
 
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 (1-pound) package ground hot pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Cheese Sauce, divided (recipe follows)
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
  • Toppings: fresh jalapeno slices, salsa, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from pan; drain well.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add eggs, green chiles, salt, pepper, and cumin; cook, without stirring, until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue to cook until eggs are thickened but still moist. (Do not stir constantly.) Remove from heat, and gently fold in 1½ cups Cheese Sauce and sausage.
  4. Spoon about ½ cup egg mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in a lightly greased 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Pour remaining Cheese Sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with Monterey Jack.
  5. Bake until sauce is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.

  1. Must be good as copied and printed on page 72 in the 2023 Jan/Feb Cooking With Paula Deen.
    There are 6-7 recipes copied in the same issue that were taken from this group and made to look like they were hers. Sad.
