ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage (We like Mexican chorizo)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup onion (dices)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 10 eggs (extra large)
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chili peppers
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 (10 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 teaspoon chili powder
- 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese (shredded) or 1 cup monterey jack pepper cheese (shredded)
- 1⁄2 1/2 cup sour cream (optional) or 1/2 cup guacamole (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 (when ready to bake).
- In medium skillet, cook the sausage until browned. Drain.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and garlic. Cook until onions are soft.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg into the skillet with the onions and cook--stirring frequently until eggs thicken but are still slightly moist. Remove from heat.
- To the eggs, stir in cooked sausage, green chilies and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the green enchilada sauce, cream and chili powder.
- Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking pan/dish. Spread about 1/2 cup of the green enchilada/cream sauce on the bottom.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of the egg/sausage/cheese mixture into the center of a tortilla and roll. Place in pan, seam side down. Repeat until all the filling has been used up. I lay out all 10 tortillas and evenly divide the filling first, then start rolling.
- Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the Jack cheese. Cover with foil. Refrigerate if making the night before, otherwise precede to the next step.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden.
- Top with optional toppings if desired.

<p>I'm a retired USAF pilot (32 years), now as a Systems Engineer, I'm 10 years into a second career with an engineering firm, supporting the military. I love to hunt, fish, camp, hike and, of course--cook. I collect cook books and recipes from all kinds of sources. I was so glad to find this web site to help me organize my favorite recipes, and find new ones. My favorite cooking style is BBQ/Smoking. I also love to cook elaborate meals for family and friends. Having lived overseas for many years, I've picked up a lot of recipes for German, French, Italian, Thai, and Greek dishes.</p>
