  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups cooked tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese

  3. Remove 1 cup of sausage mixture and set aside.
  4. Add flour to remaining sausage in skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  6. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  7. Scramble eggs in butter until slightly undercooked.

  9. Fill tortillas with mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in baking dish.
  10. Pour sausage gravy over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  11. Bake 30–40 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Notes
