Leftover Turkey Enchiladas Skillet 🌮🍗
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked leftover turkey, shredded
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (mild or spicy, your choice)
1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional, for extra heat)
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 corn tortillas, cut into strips or squares
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Sliced avocado, for serving (optional)
Directions:
Cook the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the Turkey and Seasonings: Stir in the shredded turkey, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the turkey with the spices. Add the enchilada sauce and green chilies (if using). Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Add the Tortilla Strips: Gently fold in the tortilla strips or squares, making sure they are coated with the sauce. Press them into the sauce mixture a bit so they soak up the flavor. Let everything cook together for another 3-5 minutes.
Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the turkey and tortilla mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with optional toppings like sour cream and avocado slices.
