# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it apart. Once halfway cooked, add the diced onion and minced jalapeño. Continue to cook until the sausage is no longer pink. Remove 1 cup (approximately 180 grams) of the sausage mixture and set aside.
02 -
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the remaining sausage mixture in the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Simmer, stirring often, until the mixture thickens to a rich gravy. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Melt the butter in a separate nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just set, leaving them slightly undercooked.
04 -
In a medium bowl, combine the reserved sausage mixture, cooked tater tots, scrambled eggs, and half of both Pepper Jack and cheddar cheeses. Mix gently until evenly blended.
05 -
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 23 by 33 centimetre baking dish. Spoon approximately 120 millilitres (1/2 cup) of filling onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in the prepared dish.
06 -
Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the tops of the burritos. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is deeply melted and casserole is bubbling at the edges.
# Notes:
01 -
For enhanced flavour, use extra-sharp cheddar and brown the sausage thoroughly for deep caramelisation.
