Ingredients

• 8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
• 1 lb breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage)
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• Optional toppings: green onions, salsa, avocado, jalapeños

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat and set aside.
2. Step 2: Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Scramble the mixture in a skillet over medium heat until just set. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and remove from heat.
3. Step 3: Fill each tortilla with a portion of the egg and sausage mixture. Roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
4. Step 4: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom or chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour this mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the dish.
6. Step 6: For oven baking, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.
7. Step 7: For Instant Pot cooking, place the baking dish on a trivet inside the pot with 1 cup of water. Cover the dish with foil. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release.
8. Step 8: Garnish with optional toppings like green onions, salsa, avocado, or jalapeños before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use turkey sausage for a leaner option or add diced bell peppers for extra color and flavor.
• Swap out cheddar for Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a different cheese profile.
• If you prefer a spicier bake, add chopped jalapeños into the egg mixture or top with hot sauce.
• Make it vegetarian by substituting sausage with sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based alternative.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or in an oven-safe dish at 350°F until warmed through. The bake can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use gluten-free tortillas for this recipe?

Yes, gluten-free flour tortillas work well and make the recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive diets. Just ensure they are pliable enough to roll without cracking.

Is it necessary to cook the egg mixture before filling the tortillas?

Pre-cooking the eggs ensures they set properly inside the tortillas and prevents the filling from being too runny. It also helps the flavors blend well before baking.

Instructions

1. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat and set the sausage aside.
