Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour 1-cup of enchilada sauce into a 9 x 13 baking dish and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside.
Add turkey, 1-cup of enchilada sauce, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeño, lime juice, black beans, corn, half of the grated cheeses, and the chopped cilantro. Stir until well combined.
Divide the mixture between the 8 tortillas running it evenly down the center. Fold the bottom half of the tortilla over the filling and tuck it under. Continue rolling to form a tube. Continue with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Cover the enchiladas with the remaining sauce. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with additional toppings on the side.
Notes
Mix the two cheeses together for more even distribution.
Place dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips or spatters.
Adapt as needed! I could only find extra-large tortillas and made it work. Substitute 10 to 12 taco or fajita sized tortillas if needed.
To use corn tortillas, follow the steps in this Chicken Enchiladas recipe.
Make-Ahead, Storing and Freezing Tips
Allow enchiladas to cool completely, wrap with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Prepare the enchiladas as directed without baking. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To freeze: prepare enchiladas in a metal or ceramic pan, wrap with plastic wrap then foil and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed. To serve: bake refrigerated enchiladas as directed adding more cooking time because they are cold.
