Hearty and delicious! This recipe comes from my mother-in-law with a few differences to make it my own. They are really more like smothered burritos! Simple comfort food!
Recipe
1 lb. ground turkey or beef (you can even use shredded cooked chicken too)
1 large onions, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1 can green chilies
2 cans refried beans
2 (15 oz) bottles or canned enchilada sauce (I like Sprout’s brand)
16 flour tortillas (I like the brand from Costco you have to cook)
3-4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Sour cream
Green onions
Tomatoes
Lettuce
In a large dutch oven pot, brown the meat on medium high heat. Add the onions and seasonings. Add the chilies, beans and half of one bottle or can of enchilada sauce to thin out the bean mixture. Cook until heated through. Cook the tortillas if needed. Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with oil. Fill each tortilla with the bean mixture and roll the outsides in and then roll bottom up. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas in the dish and top with cheese. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees until the cheese is bubbly and melted. I like to serve it over a big bed of lettuce with sour cream, tomatoes and green onions!
