Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, shredded
• 19 Ounces (oz) can red enchilada sauce
• 1 Medium onion, minced
• 2 Ounces (oz) can black olives, sliced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) oil, divided
• 24 6 Inch corn tortillas
• 4 Cups cooked turkey, minced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the enchilada sauce into a bowl.
2. In a small bowl, combine the Cheddar-Jack cheese, minced onion, and sliced black olives.
3. Brush a small skillet with enough oil to coat a tortilla, and heat over low heat. Add a tortilla and cook until soft, about 15 to 30 seconds per side. Remove and dip in enchilada sauce to coat, then place on a plate.
4. Place some minced turkey and some cheese mixture in the center of the tortilla, roll up, and place it in the prepared baking dish.
5. Repeat Step 3, using more oil as needed, to form and roll 11 more enchiladas; they should cover the bottom of the baking dish.
6. Spread enchilada sauce over the enchiladas to cover. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to form, roll, and place the remaining 12 enchiladas. Spread the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese mixture.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
