Method

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Add the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 4: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked.
Step 5: Lay each flour tortilla flat and spoon a portion of the egg and sausage mixture down the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 6: Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Step 7: Pour salsa evenly over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with any remaining cheese.
Step 8: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Notes

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave. Just make sure to cover them to keep them from drying out.
