The BF's Mexican Night

A few weeks ago, I received the Taste of Home magazine (April/May 2011). M started flipping through it and decided he wanted everything in the magazine. He ended up making the Turkey Enchiladas and a delicious margarita for our Friday night fiesta. M also made Mexican rice to finish off the meal.

Terrific Turkey Enchiladas (pg. 82)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Enchiladas
3/4 lb Ground Turkey
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp. olive oil
3/4 cup salsa
1 tbsp. cornmeal (we used flour to thicken)
2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
6 flour tortillas (warmed)
1 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese

1. Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor, cover and pulse until blended.
2. Preheat oven to 350. In a large skillet, cook the turkey, onion and garlic in oil over medium heat, until the meat is no longer pink. Remove from heat; stir in the salsa, cornmeal and seasonings.
3. Spoon 1/3 cup turkey mixture down the center of each tortilla. Add cheese (~2 tbsp.). Roll up and place seam side down in a greased baking dish. After all are filled, spoon remaining corn mixture and cheese over tortillas.
4. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 5 more minutes.

Enjoy!
