Instructions

  • SAUSAGE: Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove from pan, drain well, pressing between paper towels.
  • CHEESE SAUCE: Meanwhile, melt 1/3 cup butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, and whisk in Cheddar cheese, green chilis, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Makes 4 cups
  • EGGS: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and cilantro, sauté for 1 minute. Add eggs, salt and pepper, cook without stirring, until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue to cook until eggs are thickened but still moist; do not stir constantly. Remove from heat, and gently fold in 1 1/2 cups cheese sauce and sausage.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup egg mixture down the center of each flour tortilla; roll up tightly. Place seam side down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Pour remaining cheese sauce evenly over tortillas; sprinkle evenly with Pepper Jack cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly. Serve with desired toppings.
