Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Enchiladas
While I’m not a huge breakfast fan, I am a fan of food in general. Actually, no, no, no…let me rephrase that: I love many breakfast foods, including waffles, crepes, pancakes, scones, cinnamon rolls, muffins and coffee cakes. Not so much on the savory stuff. Carbs and me, we’re the best of buds.
The problem with this–besides the imminent possibility of having to wear elastic waist pants–is that the Tall Boy doesn’t care for any of those items. And since compromise is an important part of marriage, I feel compelled to make things he likes every now and then. Sigh.
And really, I don’t think a person can go wrong with sausage and cheese jammed inside of a tortilla and smothered with more cheese.
Start by making your cheese sauce–melt butter over medium heat and whisk in your flour. Cook for one minute, whisking constantly.
Then, whisk in milk and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, jalepenos (we like it spicy; if you don’t, try green chilis) and salt. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and saute green onion and cilantro for about 1 minute.
Add eggs, salt and pepper, and cook until eggs are thickened but still moist.
Remove from heat, and stir in cooked sausage and 1 1/2 cups of cheese sauce.
Stuff about 1/2 cup of your egg mixture into a flour tortilla.
Roll up, and place seam-side down into a 13×9 pan. Pour the rest of your cheese sauce over the top, and then top that with Monterey Jack cheese.
Don’t say I never did anything nice for you.

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking. In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.

This sounds great. I like sweet and savory breakfasts, so this meal would work for me and all the boys in my life. I’m making tortillas today, so burritos might happen tomorrow morning. YUM.
I do not see what temp to bake at and for how long? It just states bake as directed.
