Tonight's Take on turkey has spice to it! Living in Florida leaves me feeling homesick for the Southwest, but this dish can somehow make me feel all better. Red Chili Enchiladas...***mouth watering***
This is a simple dish to make so don't be intimidated by the chili pods, just follow my directions and you will be have real homemade Mexican food in no time! You should also have no trouble finding the pods at your local store in the "Ethnic" isle.
Ingredients you will need:
- 1 lb of Turkey (our left overs)- 9 to 12 Mild/Hot Red Chili Pods
- 1 Tbsp of Flour
- 1 Tbsp of Oil (I love olive oil)
- 1/4 cup of onions (green/white) *optional
- 2 Cups of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 12 Corn Tortillas
- Garlic Salt
First, remove the stems from your chili pods and wash all the seeds out.
Place them in boiling water for 30-45 minutes.
(Note: Open your windows if you got hot pods....hehehe)
Cover the bottom of your 9x9 pan with quartered tortilla pieces.
Once your pods are boiled place them in a blender with 1/4 cup of the water used to boil them.
Blend until completely liquefied.
(Note: get your strainer ready)
In a pan, mix your oil and flour until the flour is browned.
(Note: this happens very quickly)
Now, strain your chili into the pan with the flour and oil and mix in some garlic salt for flavor.
Now your chili is complete.
Add your turkey into the chili mixture.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Now, the fun part!
Layer your ingredients until you run out.
Tortillas, Turkey Chili, Onions, Cheese
*repeat*
Now cover you pan with foil and bake for about 30 minutes
or until your cheese is completely melted.
Serve warm!
