Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 enchilada)

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4  cup  chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2  cup  chopped onion
  • 1/4  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 3/4  teaspoon  ground coriander
  • Dash of black pepper
  • 2 1/2  cups  chicken broth
  • 1  cup  (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1  cup  fat-free sour cream
  • 3  cups  chopped cooked turkey or chicken (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1/4  cup  bottled salsa
  • 6  (6-inch) flour tortillas

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Place a medium saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot; add bell pepper and onion. Sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, coriander, and black pepper in a medium bowl; gradually add broth, stirring with a whisk until well-blended. Add to saucepan; bring to a boil, and cook 3 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in cheese and sour cream. Combine 1 cup cheese mixture, turkey, and salsa in a bowl.

Spread 1/2 cup turkey mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour remaining cheese mixture over tortillas. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until bubbly.

I did not enjoy this at all. The sauce was odd tasting w/no flavor almost like thicken chicken broth. The amount of modifications necessary to make this recipe good would be the same as just using a different recipe for enchiladas entirely, which there are better ones out there. So, don't bother with this one.01/24/10

I've been making this recipe for over ten years. The only changes I make are no bell peppers, chicken instead of turkey, and I use my own homemade salsa instead of bottled. My family loves the recipe!01/30/09
