  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground breakfast sausage

– 1/2 cup diced onion

– 1 jalapeno, minced

– 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

– 2 3/4 cups milk

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 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

1-To get started, first prepare all your ingredients by following a simple setup like chopping vegetables and cooking the sausage. For the sausage gravy part, this guide on sausage gravy can help you perfect that creamy topping. Begin by cooking 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, crumbling it as you go, and add 1/2 cup diced onion and 1 minced jalapeno halfway through.

2-Next, remove 1 cup of the mixture and set it aside, then sprinkle 1/3 cup all-purpose flour over the rest in the pan and stir for a minute. Gradually whisk in 2 3/4 cups milk and let it simmer until thickened; take it off the heat. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9ร—13-inch baking dish while you whisk 10 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

3-Scramble the eggs in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until slightly undercooked. In a bowl, mix the reserved sausage mixture with 2 cups cooked tater tots, the scrambled eggs, and half of both 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. For more tips on eggs, this resource on scrambled eggs offers great advice. Place about half a cup of filling in each of 10 fajita-size flour tortillas, roll them up, and put them seam side down in the baking dish.

4-Pour the sausage gravy over the top and sprinkle on the remaining cheese, then bake for 30 to 40 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden. If you want to try similar dishes, our sweet potato tacos recipe might inspire some fun variations.
