1 large onion, chopped
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) 2% cottage cheese
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
SAUCE:

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
12 whole wheat tortilla (8 inches), warmed

In a large skillet, cook the beef, turkey and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the cottage cheese, sour cream, chilies, cumin and coriander; set aside.
For sauce, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute onion until tender. Stir in the tomato sauce, salsa, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Cover and freeze one dish for up to 3 months. Bake the remaining dish, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with 6 tablespoons cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
To use frozen enchiladas: Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake as directed. Yield: 2 dishes (6 servings each).

I would definately make this again, however with the following additions: Add 1/4 t. sea salt to both the ground beef and turkey and 1/4 t. sea salt to the onions. I also increased the cumin and corriander to 1 t. and added 1 t. oregano. Also, I added 1t. cumin to the sauce.
