Outstanding! Used for turkey enchiladas last night & ooh boy was it goood! I bumped up the cumin to about 2t fresh ground & added 2 pressed garlic cloves and a can of Great Value tomatoes with green chilis instead of 2nd can of paste - this was delicious & made for great enchiladas! Thank you, Shiraz, for a great go-to quick recipe we will use again & again.

AMAZING; I did make a mistake so I had to modify a bit. I only purchased one can of tomato paste and it was only 5.5 ounces! I cut down on the broth and it turned out fantastic! My family raved, really raved and that is not like them.....
