Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Then spread ⅓ cup Green Enchilada Sauce evenly along the bottom of the dish. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage links (whole) and fry for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown. Transfer links to a separate plate, and reduce heat to medium-low. Add the eggs and cook for about 5-7 minutes until scrambled, stirring occasionally. Transfer eggs to a separate plate, and remove pan from heat. Cut the sausage links into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Set aside 1 cup of the shredded cheese, 1 avocado and 1/4 cup black beans for later use.
Step 4
Lay a flour tortilla out a workspace. Spread 2 tablespoons green enchilada sauce all over the surface of the tortilla. Then in a line down the center, layer a large spoonful each of the eggs, sausage, avocado, cheese and beans. (Portion each ingredient so that you use about ⅛ of the entire portion per enchilada, since there are 8 total.) Fold the tortilla over to seal it, then transfer the enchilada to the pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all 8 enchiladas are in the pan. You may need to squish them together a bit to make room.
Step 5
Spread about 1/2 cup of the remaining green enchilada sauce on top of the enchiladas. Then sprinkle the reserved 1 cup shredded cheese evenly on top. Bake for 20 minutes.
Step 6
Remove, and sprinkle the enchiladas evenly with the reserved avocado, fresh cilantro, black beans and green onions, or whatever toppings you desire.
