Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nutritious Turkey Enchiladas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your enchiladas don’t stick.
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once it’s shimmering, toss in the ground turkey and chopped onion.
Step 4
Sauté them together until the turkey turns a lovely golden brown and the onion softens, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Next, stir in the aromatic ground cumin and smoky chipotle pepper, then take the skillet off the heat and let the mixture cool for a moment.
Step 6
Once it’s slightly cooled, fold in a cup of creamy Oaxaca cheese for that irresistible cheesy goodness.
Step 7
Now, spread a generous 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish, creating a flavorful base.
Step 8
Grab a warmed corn tortilla and fill it with a portion of the turkey mixture, rolling it up tightly and placing it seam-side down in the dish.
Step 9
Keep going until all your tortillas are filled and snugly arranged.
Step 10
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, and don’t forget to sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top for that melty finish.
Step 11
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is beautifully melted.
Step 12
While your enchiladas are baking, let’s whip up a delightful topping.
Step 13
Coarsely chop a tablespoon of pepitas and mix them in a small bowl with fresh cilantro, sliced green onion, minced garlic, and a hint of lime zest for a burst of flavor.
Step 14
Once your enchiladas are out of the oven, sprinkle this vibrant topping over them, adding the remaining pepitas for an extra crunch.
Step 15
Serve them up and enjoy the deliciousness you’ve created!.
