Recipe: Sunrise Sausage Enchiladas

I told you I would share the most recent new recipe I tried - Sunrise Sausage Enchiladas.  They were delicious!  I actually made these for dinner - I love the spicy taste that the green enchilada sauce brings to this dish.  Top it with fresh red onion, chopped red pepper and cilantro and you have the perfect dish with fresh flavor and lots of taste!  
Enjoy at your next brunch or dinner!
