Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted and started to bubble, add a diced small onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
- When the onion is ready, stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute.
- Next, add 1 pound of breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine.
- Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk while continuously stirring to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Add in ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon each of black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika, along with ½ teaspoon of ground sage.
- Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the tortillas.
- On a clean surface, lay out 8 large flour tortillas.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the warm sausage gravy into the center of each tortilla.
- Gently roll each tortilla tightly to form closed enchiladas, arranging them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour any remaining sausage gravy evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
- Drizzle the hot sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
