Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Add ground sausage to a medium sized pan, over medium heat, and begin to break apart.
  • Cook until sausage has browned and is no longer pink.
  • Remove sausage from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add the bell peppers to the pan, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Next add the onion, and saute until onions are translucent. About 5 minutes.
  • Remove peppers and onions from the pan, and put into the same bowl as the sausage.
  • Next in a small bowl, beat the eggs and milk until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the eggs to the pan and scramble over low heat. About 5 minutes.
  • Season with the salt and pepper. Turn heat off.
  • Next, add the sausage, bell peppers, onion, diced olives and pace salsa to the pan.
  • Stir the ingredients together until mixed through.

To Assemble

  • In a 9x13 pan, add about 1 cup of red enchilada sauce to the bottom.
  • Next lay a tortilla out on a clean surface.
  • Top one end with cheese, and then about 1⁄4 cup of scrambled egg mixture on top of the cheese (Do not fill tortilla more than half way or it will not roll and seal itself).
  • Roll the tortillas and filling to create an enchilada.
  • Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce and the remaining cheese over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the cheese has begun to brown and bubble.
  • Serves 6 (2 enchiladas each)

Notes

Tips
  • Don’t overfill tortillas, or they’ll be hard to roll.
  • Cook eggs just until set. They’ll finish in the oven.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting.
  • Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes to allow the filling to settle.
