Turkey Enchiladas
What you'll need:
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 28-ounce can enchilada sauce
1 small can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chilies
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups shredded cooked turkey
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
12 small (6-inch) corn tortillas
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large
saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add enchilada sauce, tomatoes and chilies.
- Cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup cilantro.
- Mix turkey, 1 1/2 cups cheese, sour cream, the rest of the onion
and cilantro in bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in medium skillet over medium
heat.
- Cook 1 tortilla until just soft, about 20 seconds
on each side (this way, they won’t split when
you assemble them).
- Rest them on paper towels to
remove most of the oil.
Cook the remaining tortillas.
To assemble the enchiladas:
- Spread 1/2 cup sauce in a baking dish.
- Spoon 1/4 cup turkey mixture in center of each tortilla and roll
them up.
- Arrange seam side down in baking dish, tucking them together
to keep them from rolling back open.
- Spoon the sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle on the remaining
cheese.
- Bake until heated through, about 20 minutes.
