Instructions
Step 1
Step 1 (preheat and sauté): Preheat oven to 375°F. In a skillet, cook sausage, onion, pepper, and garlic over medium heat until sausage releases fat and veggies soften. Sprinkle in paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside.
Step 2
Step 2 (make the gravy): In the same skillet, swirl in butter, then whisk in flour until a roux forms. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens to a pourable consistency. Reduce heat, add half the shredded cheese, and stir until melted.
Step 3
Step 3 (assemble the enchiladas): Lay tortillas flat on a large platter. Spoon a generous amount of sausage mixture onto each tortilla, then drizzle half of the gravy over the filling. Roll tightly and place seam‑side down in a greased 9×13″ baking dish.
