Ingredients
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 jalapeño minced
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ¾ cups milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 10 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups cooked tater tots
- 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 fajita-size flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- When it's about halfway done, stir in the diced onion and minced jalapeño.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove 1 cup of the sausage mixture and set it aside.
- Return the pan to the heat and sprinkle the flour over the remaining sausage mixture. Stir continuously for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and let it simmer until thickened, then remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Melt butter in a nonstick pan and scramble the eggs, stopping while they are slightly undercooked as they will finish in the oven.
- In a medium bowl, mix the reserved sausage mixture with the tater tots, scrambled eggs, and half of the Pepper Jack and cheddar cheese.
- Spoon about ½ cup of the filling onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the sausage gravy over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes until bubbly and golden. Enjoy!
Notes
- Pre-Cook Ingredients: Prepping sausage, eggs, and potatoes in advance speeds up assembly.
- Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning in each step for perfect flavor.
- Avoid Overfilling: Prevents tearing and makes rolling easier.
- Crispy Tater Tots: Use an air fryer for extra crunch.
