Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain the grease.
Add thawed Potatoes O’Brien and green chiles to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes until heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Spoon the filling into each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or half-and-half, green enchilada sauce, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tortillas in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
Either cover and refrigerate overnight or bake immediately.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Add optional toppings if desired.

Notes

You can make it vegetarian by replacing sausage with black beans or plant-based crumbles.

Use different cheeses like pepper jack or a Mexican blend for variation.

To freeze, wrap tightly before or after baking. Thaw overnight before reheating or baking.

Corn tortillas can be used but warm them first to prevent cracking.

Refrigerating overnight is optional but enhances flavor.
