Categories     Bake     Tortillas

Yield 12 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 corn tortillas
3 cups minced cooked turkey (or chicken) or the equivalent in cooked ground turkey
4 cups green chili sauce (canned or fresh*)
1 lb. longhorn cheese (queso blanca, or similar mexican cheese, if available
1/2 cup minced onion
1 pint sour cream (not no-fat)
*Green Chili Sauce
1/2 Chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 TB olive oil
1 TB flour
½ c. chicken stock
2 c. chopped green chilies (roasted, peeled, seeded)
½ c. chopped tomato, fresh or canned
½ tsp cumin
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Tortillas can vary considerably in terms of their flexibility to be rolled. If they are very fresh you may be a able to roll them without softening. But for most tortillas you have to make them pliant. You either heat them on a griddle and place them under a damped towel to stay warm and moist or you can quickly fry them in hot oil until they are soft and then drain them on papers towels. Mix one cup of the chili sauce with the meat. Place 1/4 cup of the mixture and roll is up. Place in a large oblong baking dish. Scatter the onions over the enchiladas. Cover them with the grated cheese, then the remaining sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Take the enchiladas out and spread the sour cream even over them. Return to the oven for at least ten minutes. The sour cream should be hot and gently bubbling. Test the center. When it is hot serve immediately. *Green Chile Sauce Heat the oil and saute the onion a few minutes, then add the garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the flour, cook 2 minutes, then slowly add the stock. Add the chili, tomato and cumin. Cover and simmer at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water or stock if sauce gets to thick. Add salt to taste. Makes about 3 cups.
