List of Ingredients



• One (1-pound) package hot ground pork sausage
  
• 2 Tbsp butter
  
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  
• 14 large eggs, beaten
  
• ¾ tsp salt
  
• ½ tsp pepper
  
• Cheese Sauce (recipe follows)
  
• 8 (8-inch) soft taco-size flour tortillas
  
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey jack with peppers
  
• Toppings: grape tomato halves, sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes or until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove from skillet; drain well, pressing between paper towels. Wipe skillet clean.
   
   
2. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and cilantro, and sauté 1 minute. Add eggs, salt and pepper, and cook, without stirring, 2 minutes or until eggs begin to set on bottom. Gently draw cooked edges away from sides of pan to form large pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes or until eggs are thickened but still moist. (Do not overstir.) Remove from heat, and gently fold in 1½ cups Cheese Sauce and sausage.
   
   
3. Spoon about ¾ cup egg mixture down center of each flour tortilla; roll up. Place, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Pour remaining Cheese Sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with Monterey jack cheese. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly. Serve with desired toppings.
   
   Makes 8 servings.
