Easy enchiladas!

So, first I must apologize for the time between posts! Its been a crazy busy start to summer here! I've got 3 kids at home right now, I'm in the process of starting my new job, started a girly boutique with my darling Sister,  DH is in class full time and I've also started my last full college semester! *whew!*

To add more to the mix, I've been working on a cookbook to share with all you followers in a give away by the end of July. I won't spoil the surprise, but its going to be 15 of my favorite dishes (of 2010.. because lets face it .. next year my life will be filled with new food loves ... I'm fickle like that!) -- a mixture of entrees and desserts. Maybe a breakfast casserole. I am really excited to share it with you, I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!

Now for the star of today's episode -- super easy Turkey Enchiladas. The original recipe (here) is for beef enchiladas, but we never have ground beef in our freezer, so I made the easy substitution. Honestly, if you don't tell your guests or family, they won't know anyhow! ;)

Turkey Enchiladas

Ok, so maybe these are more like burritos, but they are simple and delicious anyhow! This is also a great recipe for kitchen helpers!

Ingredients:

1 pound Ground Turkey
½ cups Diced Onion
1 can Refried Beans
1 can 8 oz Tomato Sauce
1 package Taco Seasoning mix
1 can Medium Enchilada Sauce (I think I used the 10 oz can...)
10 whole Flour Enchiladas
1-½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese



                                                      Step 1.
Brown the ground turkey and mix in the taco seasoning.

Step 2.
Add onions, beans, and tomato sauce. Stir together until well mixed.




Step 3.
Assembly! Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto a tortilla, top with a spoonful of enchilada sauce and some cheese. Roll and place in greased 9 x 13 pan. (I only managed to get 7 in my pan, I rolled mine kind of big)



Step 4.
Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the rest of the meat mixture and pour over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.







Whip up some Spanish ... or yellow ... rice if you wanna, but these are good just the way they are!
