Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 cup crumbled breakfast sausage
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
- 2 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Spices (e.g., cayenne powder or chili powder), to taste
Enchilada Filling
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
- 6 flour tortillas
Garnish
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage Gravy: Cook the crumbled breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. In the same pan, sauté finely chopped onions and garlic until translucent and fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for a minute to remove the raw taste. Gradually whisk in plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices. Simmer gently, stirring often until thick and creamy.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In another pan, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp yet tender. Chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside for the enchilada filling.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Warm the flour tortillas until pliable. Lay each flat, spoon in cooked sausage, turkey bacon pieces, and plant-based cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
- Add the Gravy and Bake: Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the assembled enchiladas, coating each well. Sprinkle extra plant-based cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the enchiladas rest a few minutes after baking. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth gravy without lumps.
- Do not overfill tortillas to avoid breakage during baking.
- Prepare gravy ahead and reheat gently to save time.
- Adjust spice levels according to taste preference.
- Lightly toast tortillas before assembly to prevent tearing and ease rolling.
