I made this but made changes. I made about half and used chicken instead of turkey. I didn't add basil, oregano, cumin, or onion because the turkey chili mix I used had everything but the kitchen sink in it. I used leftover crepes that I had in the freezer instead of tortillas. I used picante sauce in place of Mexican tomatoes because I don't like tomatoes. I made just 1/3 of the sauce. The recipe as written I give four stars to. As I made it without certain things I grade it an A.
My family absolutly loved this. When they made it at the live show the smells were aluring. I was hesitant to make it because im not a big turkey/ chicken person with certain dishes. This changed it. Instead of frying i cooked the tortillas in the microwave like the package said.
Excellent,. Great way to use left over Thanksgiving turkey. The recipe was easy and fast to put together. The only change I made was fresh tomatoes and sorranoe peppers from the garden, instead of canned Mexican diced tomatoes.
What a great and tasty dish for your turkey leftovers. This tastes fresh and will tickle the taste buds. I will definitely make these again.
Never done enchiladas before...but they were a great success...a great way to recycle thanksgiving...
I really liked this recipe. I didn't have enough room in the pans for all of the enchiladas so we ate some taco-style and it was terrific. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
