Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked turkey (shredded)
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2.5 cups Salsa verde (green tomatillo sauce)
- 1.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 medium White onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for 5-7 seconds per side to make them pliable. Drain on paper towels.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded turkey with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly to coat the base.
Take one tortilla and fill it with 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoned turkey. Roll it tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and turkey.
Pour the remaining salsa verde over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with dollops of Mexican crema, chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
