I have begun to use a lot of ground Turkey as a substitute for ground meat for recipes that just need a lower fat diet.. kinda anti Atkins... This is one of those recipes that really lends itself to that conversion.. enjoy!
Fanterrific Enchiladas Casserole
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cups picante sauce or salsa *( I'll post a great salsa in a minute...)
- 1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package (8 oz) regular or light cream cheese, cubed
- 12 Flour tortillas (6-inch), warmed
- 1 can (14 1/2 oz) tomatoes, undrained, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, black olives, diced avocado, sour cream
1) In a large skillet, cook turkey until no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon.
2) Add 1 cup of the picante sauce, the spinach, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin and salt.
3) Cook and stir 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add cream cheese, stirring just until melted.
4) Spoon about 1/3 cup filling down center of each warmed tortilla; roll up and place seam-side down in a lightly greased 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
5) Combine tomatoes and remaining 1 cup Picante sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Spoon over enchiladas.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with cheese; return to oven 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Add whatever topping you wish and Yummmmmmmmm
Serves 6.
