# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Warm up a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the sausage, breaking it apart into pieces, and cook until it's browned and done. Add the flour on top and stir until it mixes well. Keep stirring as you cook it for about a minute. Pour in the milk little by little, stirring all the time to keep it smooth. Let it simmer for around 5 minutes until it thickens. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you'd like. Keep it warm until needed.
02 -
Mix the eggs, 60 milliliters of milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter, and pour the egg mixture in. Cook while gently stirring until the eggs look just cooked. Then take it off the heat.
03 -
Turn your oven on and set it to 190°C. Lightly coat a 33x23-centimeter baking dish with oil or butter.
04 -
Place the tortillas flat on a surface, adding scrambled eggs, potatoes (if using), chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on each. Roll them up tightly and line them up seam-side down in the baking dish.
05 -
Spread the warm sausage gravy over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle with extra cheese if you like.
06 -
Cover the dish with foil and pop it into the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, then take off the foil and let it bake for another 5–10 minutes until it's hot and bubbly.
07 -
Scatter some extra green onions on top and dig in right away. Serve it with fresh fruit or a splash of your favorite hot sauce, if you'd like.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To avoid lumps, stir the gravy constantly when adding milk for a smooth result.
02 -
These enchiladas can be put together in advance and kept in the fridge overnight, ready to bake the next day.
