Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  7. Spread a thin layer of the turkey mixture on each tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheese.
  8. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour remaining turkey mixture over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the turkey mixture.
  • You can use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas if preferred.
  • Leftover enchiladas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
