Instructions

Cook the breakfast sausage in a large pan over medium-high heat, crumbling it as it cooks. Once the sausage is about halfway done, add the diced onion and minced jalapeño. Continue cooking until the sausage is fully cooked through.
Remove 1 cup of the sausage mixture and set it aside. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the remaining sausage in the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk, bringing the mixture to a simmer until it thickens into a creamy, luscious gravy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a separate skillet, melt the butter and scramble the eggs with salt and pepper until they’re just undercooked. Remove the eggs from the heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the reserved sausage mixture, cooked tater tots, scrambled eggs, and half of the shredded cheeses. Spoon about 1/2 cup of this filling down the center of each flour tortilla, then roll and place the enchiladas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the sausage gravy over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake the Breakfast Enchiladas for 30-40 minutes, until they’re hot, bubbly, and golden brown.

Notes

These Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy are a true feast for the senses. Serve them with a side of fresh avocado, salsa, or sour cream to add even more flavor and creaminess. They also pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing juice.

For a vegetarian twist, you can substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or plant-based meat alternatives. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends, too – pepper jack and cheddar are a classic combo, but you could also try Monterey Jack, queso fresco, or even a sprinkle of Cotija cheese.
