Instructions
- Enchiladas: Cook sausage in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove from pan; drain well, pressing between paper towels.
- Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and cilantro, and saute one minute. Add eggs, salt, and pepper; cook, WITHOUT stirring, until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue to cook until eggs are thickened, but still moist; do NOT stir constantly. Remove from heat and gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the cheese sauce and the cooked sausage.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of the egg mixture down the center of each tortilla; roll up; place seam side down in a lightly greased 13"x9" baking dish. Pour remaining cheese sauce evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle evenly with Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly. Serve with desired toppings.
- Cheese Sauce: Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining cheese sauce ingredients. Makes 4 cups.
