Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 10 (8-inch) flour tortillas

  • 6 large or extra large eggs
  • 1 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups light cream (10% or 18%)
  • 1 small green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

  • Sour cream

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. In a skillet over medium-high heat cook/brown the sausage meat with onion crumbling the meat while cooking; drain fat, set aside and cool completely (for the the best flavor the meat should be lightly browned this may take about 10-12 minutes or more).

  • Step 2: Place about 1/3 cup of the cooked sausage meat down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons or more shredded cheese over the sausage. Roll up each tortilla and place seam side down in the baking dish.

  • Step 3: In a bowl whisk eggs with flour, light cream, salt and black pepper, then mix in the green bell pepper; pour over the top of the rolled tortillas in the dish.Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.

  • Step 4: When ready to bake remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes; uncover and continue baking for another 10 minutes.

  • Step 5: Remove from oven then sprinkle 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese on top and return to oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
