Directions:

  1. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, stirring, until browned and the fat is rendered, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, Essence, and chili powder, and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cheeses.
  3. Place 4 tortillas on a work surface. Top each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture.
  4. Top each with some cheese and a few jalapeno slices and top with another tortilla.
