Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
2. • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
3. Cook the Sausage and Vegetables:
4. • In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
   • Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the diced green chilies and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
6. • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
7. Assemble the Casserole:
8. • Lay out the flour tortillas and divide the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly among them. Sprinkle a mix of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the sausage and vegetables.
   • Roll up each tortilla and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
   • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the dish.
   • Pour the salsa evenly over the top, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the entire casserole.
9. Bake:
10. • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Serve:
12. • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Cut into squares and serve warm.
