Description

A hearty Southern breakfast casserole combining creamy chicken sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, crispy tater tots, and melted cheese wrapped in flour tortillas for a comforting, portable dish.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb breakfast sausage (chicken or turkey)
1 jalapeño, minced
1/2 cup medium onion, diced
2 3/4 cups whole milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
10 large eggs
2 tbsp butter (unsalted or vegan butter)
2 cups frozen tater tots
1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1012 flour tortillas
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper


Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook sausage in a skillet until browned; drain excess fat.
Add jalapeño and onion; cook 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, stir flour into milk to combine.
Add milk mixture, butter, salt, and pepper to the skillet; simmer 5 minutes until thickened.
Enter 10 eggs into a heatproof dish, shake like a frittata to form soft scrambled eggs.
Layer tater tots in a baking dish, pour gravy, scatter cheese, then add scrambled eggs.
Wrap components in tortillas, arrange in a 9×13-inch pan, and bake 25 minutes until bubbly.

Notes

Halal chicken/turkey sausage recommended
Use corn tortillas if gluten-free
Gravy can be made dairy-free with vegan butter and non-dairy milk
Add extra cheese on top for heartier texture
Single servings can be frozen wrapped in foil
