Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat the oils: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the butter and olive oil, letting them melt together into a flavorful base.
  2. Sauté the onions: Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring occasionally.
  4. Cook the sausage: Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, for about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the flour: Sprinkle the flour over the sausage mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add milk: Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
  7. Season the gravy: Add salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Thicken the gravy: Allow to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  9. Preheat the oven: While gravy thickens, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  10. Fill the tortillas: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of sausage gravy into the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with cheese.
  11. Roll the enchiladas: Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  12. Pour the gravy: Pour the remaining sausage gravy over the rolled tortillas.
  13. Add more cheese: Sprinkle remaining cheeses over the top of the gravy.
  14. Bake: Slide the baking dish into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  15. Cool and garnish: Let it cool for a few minutes and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  16. Finish with hot sauce: Drizzle hot sauce over the enchiladas before serving.
  17. Serve & enjoy!

Notes

Ensure tortillas are warm and pliable to avoid tearing. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses!
