White girl enchiladas

I call this recipe white girl enchiladas because there are pretty far from being authentic but let me tell you right now they are amazing. Best part is you can make them and freeze them for a quick meal later! Nothing I love more after a long day at work and having dinner practically ready.

Here something about me, I am single so I usually don't make a it in a big pan I make them in single size servings for my self freeze them and have meals for a while! I use containers like that >>>>>
And follow the same baking instructions.

So I have been planning on making these for a while do I bought almost all the ingredients last weekend and today went to the store to get the last couple things... Mainly went for tortillas. So I get home and I am unpacking the stuff and realize in my bag I had celery cheese and tomatoes... Yes, the one thing I went for I forgot.

Alrighty it's enchilada time! Now for the filling you can make just this part in advance or you can do the whole thing.

Here is what you need.
20 oz package of lean ground turkey
1 stock of celery chopped
1 red onion diced
1 10 oz can rotel
2 7 oz cans diced green chilies
1 16 oz can red kidney beans
1 16 oz can black beans
12 oz frozen corn
12 oz las palmas green chile enchilada sauce (it's the best one there is!)
1 lb shredded pepper jack cheese (or 2 lbs if you like it cheesey like me)
80 count corn tortillas... You probably won't need that many but they are so cheap I got the big one!

Steps:
1. Brown the turkey meat.. I use a little olive oil because the turkey meat is so lean there isn't a lot of fat that comes off.

2. Add onion and celery cook until soft

















3. Add rotel, kidney beans, black beans, ortega chiles, and corn. And I add some of the enchilada sauce just for a little more flavor.

4. In a separate pan heat some vegetable oil and lightly fry your tortillas. I put mine in the oil for about 10 seconds but it really depends on how how your oil is.



Now we put it all together...






5. Take your fried tortilla dip it in the enchilada sauce and you want it completely covered but not soggy. Next you take a spoon full of your turkey mix and a pinch of cheese roll it up and put the open side down.

And repeat until the pan is full... Drizzle enchilada sauce on the top and cover with a layer of cheese.

6. Bake on 350 for 45 minutes cover with tin foil and then bake for additional 15 minutes and enjoy.




Now if you Prefer red that is the sauce to go with... Personal I don't like the red sauce but this is by far the best that I have EVER tried... And I have tried many

  Soo I was house sitting when I Made these and decided I would be the best house guest ever... Well and I made a ridiculous amount of filling so I made an extra batch for my best friend... I mean they are so easy to make, then why not?! Any way I wrote the instructions on top and tossed them in her freezer and let her know there was a surprise in there for her and her family after a long road trip!
