My mom was having a dinner the other night and needed an idea for something quick and easy. I gave her this! It’s an easy, fool-proof enchilada that tastes amazing!
You can use turkey or chicken for this. I like to get the deli turkey breast or chicken at the grocery store, so I’ll use which ever one they have. However, if you are feeling ambitious, you can roast your own turkey breast.
Layered Turkey Enchilada
Ingredients: Print this recipe!
1 lb shredded cooked turkey breast
1- 10oz package frozen sweet peppers & onions (or fajita veggies)
1- 10 oz can enchilada sauce
9- 6 inch corn tortillas, cut in half
1- 8oz package Mexican blend cheese
optional: 1 cup corn (add with other vegetables); chopped green onion (add on top with cheese); larger can of sauce if you like a saucier enchilada.
Preheat oven to 450º. In a large skillet or pot, combine the shredded turkey, vegetables, and enchilada. Bring to a boil, cover, and let steep until the vegetables are cooked. S&P to taste.
In a 2qt baking dish, layer in 1/3 of the tortillas (6 halves). Top with 1/3 of the cheese. Then, using a slotted spoon, add half of the filling.

| I accidentally did mine backwards with the filling first and cheese second. It doesn’t really matter. 😉 |
Repeat with the next layer, 1/3 of the tortillas, 1/3 of the cheese, and the other half of the filling (still using the slotted spoon).
For the final layer, you will add the last third of the tortillas, pour on the remaining sauce, then add the last of the cheese.
Bake in a 450º oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browns slightly.
Cut into squares and serve with sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, guacamole, and/or nothing!

| The flavors combine the longer it sits, so often is tastes better on the second day! 😉 |

This was amazing and easy to make. I also added a small can of green chilies. This fed 5 comfortably with an added green salad. We had 4 pieces left.

Enchiladas always look so good to me, but I'm not a big fan of corn anything and I can never get past the enchilada sauce. It is definitely not my cup of tea, so I eat mine without the sauce! 🙂
