Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.

- To assemble enchiladas: Add ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce to the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Use a spoon to spread it evenly across the bottom.
- Spoon about ½ cup of the turkey/veggie mixture in each tortilla and roll tightly. Place the enchiladas seam side down in your baking dish. Continue until all tortillas are filled.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.

This recipe was soooo good! I made it last night and it turned out perfectly! Highly recommend!
So happy to hear that you loved it! Thanks for giving it a try and for recommending it to others.
Made these for my lunches this week and it is DELICIOUS! Traded tortillas for corn tortillas, home cooked black beans no sodium, and a home made enchilada sauce for lower sodium overall. The beans and enchilada sauce can be frozen for 6 months to make assembly for the next batch of enchiladas easier!
That sounds amazing! I love how you customized it with corn tortillas and homemade sauce. Such a smart way to keep the sodium lower. Thanks for sharing the freezer tip too, that will be so helpful for others making this recipe!
One of my favorites! We make this to last all week!
So glad to hear that — it’s one of our favorites too!
