🥄 Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, (diced)
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, (diced)
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 large Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs, (beaten)
  • 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 8 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • optional garnishes: crumbled cotija cheese or queso fresco, chopped cilantro, diced red onions

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, peppers and onions. Saute for 5 minutes, until veggies soften and onions start to become translucent.

  2. Add breakfast sausage, chili powder and ground cumin. Saute for 6-8 minutes or until fully cooked, making sure to break and crumble the sausage into small pieces with a spatula. Drain and discard any excess fat or liquid.

  3. Pour in eggs and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are just set and lightly scrambled. The mixture should still be a little wet. Remove from heat.

  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce into a 13x9-inch baking dish.

  5. Assemble the enchiladas: fill each tortilla with the sausage + egg mixture, roll them up and place them in the baking dish seam side down.

  6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas and sprinkle them with shredded cheese.

  7. Bake for 15 minutes, uncovered, until cheese has melted. Garnish with cotija cheese or queso fresco, chopped cilantro and diced red onions. Serve immediately.
