Notes
Ingredient notes
Tortillas:
Corn tortillas are sturdier and hold up much, much better than wheat tortillas. I used white corn tortillas because that’s what I had, and I didn’t have time to run out to the store to get yellow corn tortillas. Wheat tortillas tend to get quite soggy and break/get messy in enchiladas, but if you don’t mind… They taste just fine.
I like to really pack my enchiladas with filling, otherwise there’s too much tortilla for my taste. If you prefer thin enchiladas, you will need two pans and most likely 20-24 tortillas. You may also want to use more enchilada sauce.
Taco seasoning: If you don’t have this on hand but have some staple spices, you can make your own Taco seasoning in just a few seconds.
Black beans/black olives/sweet corn: These are all not mandatory to add, and you can skip one or all three if you prefer more plain and pure turkey enchiladas. Just keep in mind that you’ll lose some volume in the filling.
Cheese: A Mexican blend will work well. Cheddar or Monterey Jack are also nice. I used a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for flavor and meltiness.
