Ingredients

Filling

  • 3 cup shredded cooked turkey
  • 4 oz canned green chilies
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 10-12 flour tortillas (6-8 inch)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish wish nonstick spray.
  • Mix the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey with the rest of the filling ingredients and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the sauce. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, salsa verde, and cumin until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Prep the tortillas. Microwave the tortillas for about 30 seconds until they're soft, stretchy, and pliable.
  • Roll the enchiladas. Lay a tortilla out on a clean cutting board or work surface. Place about 1/3 cup of filling in a line on top of a tortilla. Roll it up and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
  • Top and bake. Top the enchiladas with the sauce and top with the reserved cheese. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
