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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded turkey with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 4
Pour 1/2 cup of salsa verde into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly to coat the base.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the remaining salsa verde over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
Step 8
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 9
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with dollops of Mexican crema, chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced onions before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy!
