Tuesdays at the Table...

So, I have 2 post today.. Which we all know is a Miracle in itself.. But really I am trying to make this blogging thing work. I mean I have 3 1/2 blogs to keep up with. Can a girl get a break?


It's time for Tuesdays at the Table which is a weekly event that Cole host over at All the Small Stuff. We all share a super yummy recipe each and every Tuesday. What a great way to discover new food!

Last night I made Enchilada's and while I was making them , I thought I don't think I've made these in a year and we love these things. You can change up so much with this recipe and make it your own.

I've made it with Beef, Chicken, Corn Tortillas, Low carb Tortillas, Whole wheat Tortillas etc.. You get the idea.. You can pretty much make it your own. But this is the way I make them and it totally ROCKS!

Semi- Homemade Turkey Enchiladas 101:

1 lb ground Turkey or Beef
1 Small Onion Diced
2 Cloves of Garlic Diced or Pressed
2 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 10oz cans of Enchilada sauce
6 Med. Flour Tortillas
Sour Cream
Shredded Lettuce
Non Stick cooking Spray
9x9 Glass Baking dish

I didn't get a photo for each step sorry...

Start by Pre-heating your Oven to 375 degrees. Spray your Glass Baking dish and set aside. In a large Skillet brown the Onions & Garlic* until just soft then add the Ground Turkey.

I used onion & Garlic when I make these with Turkey because you need to give Turkey a lot of flavor you could skip this step if your using Ground Beef.


Once the Turkey Mixture is no longer pink, drain* (if using beef) and return to pan. Now add in 1 1/2 cans of the Enchilada sauce and 1 1/2 Cups of the Cheese. Sir around until the cheese is melted and it's heated through.

Stack your Tortillas in a pile and remove your mixture from the heat.. Spread a tiny bit of the Enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the 9x9 Pan. Using a spoon, place a little over 1/4 Cup into each Tortilla Shell and roll them tightly and then place in the 9x9 Pan. You will want to get them in there nice and tight.

Then pour all but 1/4 Cup of the remaining sauce over the Enchilada and add the rest of the Cheese. Once they are all in the pan it should look like this:



You will want to pop them into the Oven for about 15-20 minutes until everything is Bubbling a bit and you know they are heated through. After you remove them from the Oven let them sit for about 10 minutes and then serve with some Lettuce & Sour Cream.

There are directions on the side of the can but I have made some adjustments. And you can always add more or less Cheese and Sauce. I save that left over sauce and place it in a freezer container for later use.


ENJOY!

  1. I LOVE enchiladas. I can not wait to have them again! After this crazy diet, we are having turkey and mashed potatoes. But my next meal will be enchiladas. LOL
