Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Red Chile Sauce
Green Chile Sauce
8 ounces cotija cheese, crumbled
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh, cilantro

Steps:

  • Wrap tortillas in a clean kitchen towel; place in a bamboo steamer basket. Fill a wok with 2 inches water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; set steamer in wok. Steam tortillas until softened, 6 minutes. (Or wrap tortillas in a damp, clean kitchen towel, and heat until softened, 10 to 15 seconds in a microwave or 7 to 10 minutes in a 200 degrees oven.) Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook corn, stirring, until just caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add shallot, zucchini, summer squash, and mushrooms; cook, stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Vigorously whisk eggs and cream until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring, until scrambled but not dry, about 4 minutes.

  • Spread 1 tablespoon red chile sauce on 1 tortilla; sprinkle 2 tablespoons cotija over entire surface. On bottom third of tortilla, place 4 1/2 teaspoons each egg and corn mixture, 1 teaspoon tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon cilantro. Firmly roll tortilla; place in baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Pour 1/2 cup each red and green chile sauce on top of enchiladas, mirroring the sauces on the bottom. Sprinkle with queso blanco. Bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro, and serve with remaining chile sauce.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: To save time and ensure the flavors meld well, consider preparing the enchilada filling and sauce a day in advance. The enchiladas can also be assembled and refrigerated overnight before baking.
  • Cook the Sausage Thoroughly: Ensure the sausage is cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to prevent any potential food safety issues.
  • Don't Overfill the Enchiladas: To prevent them from becoming soggy, don't overfill the enchiladas. Aim for a moderate amount of filling that allows you to roll them up tightly.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Use fresh ingredients and high-quality cheese for the best flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley can add a pop of vibrancy to the dish.
  • Add Some Heat: If you enjoy a bit of spice, feel free to add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the filling for a zesty flavor.
