How to Make Leftover Turkey Or Chicken Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded turkey, chopped vegetables, shredded cheese, salsa, hot sauce, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
  3. Place a tortilla in a lightly oiled skillet and warm for about 30 seconds, or until soft and pliable.
  4. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the turkey mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  5. Carefully roll up the tortilla and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. If you have leftover filling, add it to the top!
  7. Pour any remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with extra cheese and salsa as desired.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
