How to Make Enchiladas Using Whole Wheat Tortillas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Make the Sauce:** In a saucepan, combine the following (amounts will depend on your preferred spice level and yield): 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), and salt/pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the sauce simmers, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Stir in the sliced black olives.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Dip each tortilla briefly into the remaining sauce to soften slightly. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture and a sprinkle of cheese.
  8. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  11. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let the enchiladas rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
