Ingredients

  • ½ Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey 99/1
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 can (15oz) Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

For the Enchiladas

  • 8 Mission Carb Balance Tortillas or your choice of 6" tortilla
  • 6 oz Shredded Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack Cheese divided
  • ¼ cup (60g) Light Mayo
  • 1 Tablespoon (5g) Chopped Cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375ºF.
  • Heat a large skillet with the olive oil over medium-high heat before adding the ground turkey. Brown one side for 3-4 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking.
  • Once cooked, add the garlic and onion powder, ground cumin, and water. Cook until most of the water has cooked off before adding the enchilada sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you prep the tortillas.
  • Mix 3 oz shredded cheese with the mayo, cilantro, garlic powder, and chili powder. Add the mixture to each tortilla and tightly roll. Place the rolled tortillas sealed side down in the skillet on top of the green chile ground turkey. Top with the remaining 3 oz shredded cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browning.
  • Garnish with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and fat free Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.

Notes

You can swap the mayo 1:1 for reduced fat cream cheese or extra pepper jack.
If you're not calorie conscious, use something like 93/7 or 85/15 ground turkey, real mayo, and increase the cheese to 4-5 ounces inside the tortillas and 4-5 ounces on top.
