Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy are full of sausage, scrambled eggs, tater tots, and cheese rolled up in a flour tortilla and covered with a creamy sausage gravy.
Everything tastes better with sausage gravy. 🙂
Biscuits and Gravy, along with Chicken and Waffles, is the ultimate southern breakfast. A creamy gravy with sausage crumbles is so delicious. So I thought, why not top breakfast enchiladas with sausage gravy? Seemed like a great idea and it was.
These breakfast enchiladas take a little time to prepare but they feed a crowd and are perfect for a special brunch. They also reheat well.
How To Make
You’ll have to make the sausage gravy, make the scrambled eggs, and cook the tater tots. The amazing filling includes crumbled breakfast sausage, crispy tater tots, scrambled eggs and shredded cheese.
It gets rolled up in flour tortillas and placed in a baking dish. Sausage gravy and shredded cheddar cheese cover the enchiladas and the baking dish is popped in the oven until everything is bubbly and golden.
Tips For Making Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy
- I quickly cook the tater tots in my Air Fryer.
- You can assemble the enchiladas the night before. Just add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.
- You can top these Breakfast Enchiladas with salsa and cilantro if you like.
- Serve with hot sauce to up the heat. I personally like Chipotle TABASCO. It is less spicy than regular TABASCO and has a great smoky flavor.
