  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until translucent. Add the ground turkey, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Spread enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish, then fill each tortilla with turkey mixture and cheese, rolling tightly.
  3. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, placing them seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the enchiladas for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Serve hot with fresh cilantro and optional sour cream or guacamole.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Can freeze assembled enchiladas; thaw overnight before baking.
