Ingredients
  

For the Enchilada Salsa
  • 2 tablespoons Salted Butter Adds richness to the enchilada salsa.
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour Thickens the salsa; can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin Provides a warm, earthy flavor to the salsa.
  • 1 cup Milk Ensures creaminess; swap for almond or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Adds a velvety texture; replace with ricotta or a vegan alternative if desired.
  • 1 cup Salsa The flavorful base for the enchilada topping; feel free to use store-bought or homemade.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Cheddar Cheese Essential for both filling and topping; any favorite melting cheese works.
  • 8 Large Eggs The main protein source in this savory delight.
  • 1 cup Cooked and Crumbled Maple Sausage Adds a touch of savory sweetness; turkey sausage makes a great substitute.
  • 1 cup Crumpled and Cooked Bacon Brings richness and flavor; turkey bacon is a lighter option.
For Assembly
  • 8 taco-size Flour Tortillas Perfect for holding in all the hearty fillings; mission-style tortillas are recommended.
  • 1/4 cup Freshly Chopped Cilantro Adds a fresh, vibrant garnish; optional but highly recommended!

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring for about 2 minutes until it turns a light golden brown. Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk and add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. Bring to a boil, then stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of salsa, and 1 cup of freshly grated cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a non-stick skillet, crack 8 large eggs and whisk until mixed. Cook over medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring gently for about 3-4 minutes until just set.
  4. Lay out 8 taco-size flour tortillas and spoon a portion of scrambled eggs down the center of each, followed by the sausage, bacon, and cheese. Drizzle with salsa, then roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining salsa over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese and reserved sausage and bacon if desired. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until cheese is gooey and bubbly.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
