First, I was inspired to make my own sauce from this recipe at For the Love of Cooking
I got the sauce started and then I got to work on shredding some cheese.
I recently discovered that if you shred your own cheese, it is 10 times better than what you buy already shredded. I think this is because there is cornstarch in the bag to help the pre-shredded variety not stick together. Seriously, check out a bag of shredded cheddar - it has a white coating on it...

After I was done with the cheese I started on the meat.
Turkey can be a challenge. It can be very blah if you don't season it right. I added 3 palmfulls of taco seasoning and a can of rotel to give it some spice.
By this time, the enchilada sauce was ready to go into the food processor.
Time to assemble enchiladas!
I hope you are inspired to make enchiladas now!

That is the only way I eat cheese is to buy the big block of it and shred it or slice it myself. It is a RULE from PW!! But it is something I have always done. To me it's cheaper also.
and if you ever run out of taco seasoning...this is another trick I learned from PW...
“Taco seasoning” mix: toss in a tablespoon or so of chili powder, paprika, and cumin.
I AM INSPIRED!!!! GOING TO MAKE THIS!!!!!!
how did you keep your tortillas from tearing while assembling! sometimes i want to through my freakin' pan out the window!
yum! Wanted to invite you to come on over to my tasty Tuesday link party! http://nap-timecreations.blogspot.com/2011/06/authentic-fried-rice-tasty-tuesday-link.html
Oh wow these look really good! And not totally complicated either which is good for me.
I love enchiladas, left overs are really tasty with a fried egg on top for breakfast.
I always make my own sauce but I never roll my enchiladas I just layer them, it goes much faster and I am lazy.
Enjoy,

I love enchiladas and I am not sure why I have never tried to make them... gotta remedy that. Thanks for the recipe!
I saw the post on For The Love of Cooking, it looked delicious. But, now I am doubly convinced I need to make some enchiladas!
Those look yummy and I have a ton of ground turkey to use up. Also, I totally agree about bagged cheese. ICK!
