5 from 1 vote
This is one of those recipes from a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend kind of thing, that was scrawled by hand who knows how many years ago. And can we all just agree that those are the best recipes?

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces chorizo sausage
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 eggs whisked together with a splash of water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 1 cup light sour cream
  • 1 7- ounce can green chilies mild
  • 1 10- ounce can cream of mushroom soup
  • 8 ounces green enchilada sauce or green salsa
  • 8 12- inch tortillas
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

Instructions

  • Over medium heat in a large skillet, crumble the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel, reserving the drippings. When drained, add to a medium mixing bowl.
  • In the same pan (and the same drippings), add the hash browns in a thin layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for about 7 minutes or until brown and crispy, then flip and cook until the other side is brown and crispy. Remove from pan and add to the cooked sausage.
  • Return the pan to heat and melt the tablespoon of butter. Add the whisked eggs and scramble. When done, add to the eggs and potatoes and stir to combine.
  • In a small-ish mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, enchilada sauce, chilies, and green onions. Measure out 1 cup of the sauce and mix it with the egg mixture.
  • Preheat your oven to 325.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1 cup of the egg mixture and roll it securely. Place in a 9x13" pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to stand for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
