Brighten brunch with a taste of the Southwest: tortillas bursting with scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage and mild green chili sauce. If you use cooked chorizo, just dice and go; if using raw chorizo, remove it from the casings and cook, breaking up with a spoon.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup each chopped sweet red and green pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 chorizo sausages or hot Italian sausages, cooked and crummbled
- 2 potatoes, cooked, peeled and diced
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
- 1 Pinch pepper
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 8 large flour tortillas
- Salsa, optional
- Sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups chicken stock
- 3/4 cup light sour cream
- 2 cans (each 4.5 oz/127 mL) chopped green chiles, drained
- 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup finely chopped sweet red peppers
Preparation
In bowl, beat eggs with 1/4 cup (50 mL) water, salt, hot pepper sauce and pepper; pour over potato mixture. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring, until eggs are almost set but still moist. Stir in cheese.
Spoon one-eighth of the egg mixture along centre of each tortilla; roll up and place, seam side down, in 13- x 9-inch (3 L) gla3/4 baking dish. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Sauce: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour. Whisk in stock, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time; cook, stirring, until sauce comes to boil and thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and chilies. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Spread sauce over tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese and red pepper.
Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with salsa (if using).
Additional information : Tip: If you're pressed for time, you can omit the sauce and substitute 11/2 to 2 cups (375 to 500 mL) purchased salsa and a sprinkle of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
