Easy Enchiladas

I recently started cooking enchiladas and now I am obsessed. I began running out of ideas for dinner, so I called my mom for some newdinner recipes. Once she said enchiladas I knew it would be another meal I could do that is cheap and easy. With this meal you can also add my taco recipe and some homemade guacamole or salsa.

Enchiladas are just as simple as tacos. I start by cooking my turkey meat while my oven preheats to about 350 degrees. Once the turkey meat is cooked, I add store bought taco seasoning. Once again, I like some heat so my taco seasoning has some kick to it. Now that the turkey and taco seasoning are mixed well, I heat my tortillas up in the microwave. A good tip for heating up tortillas is getting a damp paper towel and wrapping the tortillas in it. This creates moisture which helps to not dry out the tortilla. I use a normal 9x13 casserole dish and cover the bottom with enchilada sauce. Once everything is ready to go, I create an assembly line of my tortillas, turkey meat, cheese, and every now and then I’ll add grilled onions. I use corn tortillas which are easier to break so be careful not to over stuff them. Now that the enchilada is made, place it face down in the enchilada sauce and to make sure it doesn’t open back up place a toothpick in the middle. When all your enchiladas are placed in the casserole dish cover it with more of the enchilada sauce and top it off with shredded cheese. Cook them until the cheese is melted.

This meal has become one of my favorites because I always have plenty of leftovers for the next day. Enchiladas are an easy meal to create variety with. If you don’t enjoy turkey meat, switch it to chicken or pork. It is whatever you prefer. If you have never made homemade enchiladas or weren’t sure you could, this is a recipe you can’t mess up! Enjoy!
