This is a repeat post from last year. It was so popular and delicious that I decided it needed an encore this year. The flavors are explosive!
I realize the last thing you may want to do is cook today, but you must put those luscious turkey leftovers to good use! Try a little Mexican! These cheesy, slightly spicy enchiladas will not only use up the extras, but reheat well the next day as well.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cubed cooked turkey
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup cooked long grain rice
- 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup canned chopped green chiles
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup Panela cheese
- 1 can (28 ounces) green enchilada sauce, divided
- 1 1/2cups shredded Queso Blanco or Mexican blend cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions or cilantro
- In a large saucepan, combine the first 10 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes
- Place 1/2 cup turkey mixture down the center of each tortilla; top each with 1 teaspoon enchilada sauce and 1 tablespoon Panela cheese.
- Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 8-10 minutes.
- Let cool for 10 minutes to allow cheeses to set.
- Plate, top with a dollop of sour cream and a few sliced green scallions or cilantro.
- Serve with sliced avocados and tomatoes or guacamole.
Great Idea!
