Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 can green peas drained
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1/2 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and ground turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink.
  • Add the green peas, cumin, chili powder, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring well.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Remove from heat.
  • In a bowl, mix the tomato sauce with about 1/2 cup of water (using the empty tomato sauce can to measure).
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce mixture into the bottom of an 8×12 baking dish.
  • Heat corn tortillas in the microwave (about 3 at a time) for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
  • Divide the turkey mixture evenly between the 12 tortillas. Roll each tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Enjoy these enchiladas with a side of guacamole or sour cream for extra flavor!
