• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced red onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 3

Stir in the red enchilada sauce, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In the prepared baking dish, layer 4 cups of tortilla chips to form the base.

Step 5

Add half of the shredded turkey and chicken evenly over the chips, then drizzle 1 cup of the enchilada sauce over the top.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: Add the remaining 4 cups of tortilla chips, then the other half of the turkey and chicken, followed by the rest of the enchilada sauce, and finally the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, crumbled queso fresco, and sliced avocado, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
