- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 13
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey (I'm sure any type of ground meat would be tasty)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese (you can always add more)
- organic black beans (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup organic frozen corn (optional)
- 4 -8 whole wheat tortillas (I use the Ezekiel brand of tortillas...super healthy and tasty!!)
-
For the Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1 cup organic milk (we use 1%)
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 1⁄2 cups organic tomato soup (I used the tomato and roasted red pepper from Trader Joe's)
- 1 1⁄2 cups salsa
directions
- Saute ground meat with onion and garlic (Begin work on the sauce).
- Over medium heat, melt butter, then add flour, stirring to combine (making a roue)
- Add milk, stirring quickly, until smooth (at this point, if it looks too runny, you can add more flour, and depending on how much sauce you want to have -- add more milk, too).
- Add Parmesan cheese, and stir until combined.
- Add Tomato Soup and salsa and stir together (should look kind of thick).
- Assemble enchiladas by first putting a layer of sauce down in an 8x8 or 9x13 glass dish (depending on how much you are making).
- Place a tortilla in the dish, and add meat mixture to the tortilla, with shredded cheese and roll.
- Continue until dish is full.
- Ladle sauce over the enchiladas, making sure to cover.
- Sprinkle a layer of cheese on top and put in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and heated all the way through.
- Other options -- Top with sour cream, and serve on a bed of lettuce.
- Enjoy!

These were tasty and unique enchiladas. I loved all the healthy options and the unique sauce! I found some organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup in our local grocery store and used the better-tasting salsa found in the refrigerated section. I did opt for the black beans and corn and thought they were great additions. If you're looking for a healthy option for enchiladas, you should definitely give this recipe a try. ~Made for Fall Pick-A-Chef~

I haven't tried this recipe yet but am looking forward to it! I am very impressed with the sauce recipe and think it will go well with recipe #302370 as well as this one. Thanks for posting!!! UPDATE: So I finally tried it! YUM! The sauce was fantastic, my two year old licked her fork clean after asking for seconds! (I stuffed myself as well) :o)

<p>Please Rate My Recipes! :) I am a mommy to two wonderful boys and two beautiful girls. My cooking is primarily focused on making sure what goes into their bodies is wholesome, natural, and as organic as possible. Today's fast paced methods of eating (ie: drive-thrus, and microwaves) are kind of what I hope to not let into our home. We love our sit-down family dinners, healthy snacks that are good for our bodies, and knowing that if our kids get into the cupboards, there isn't anything in there that they can't eat. I try to educate my family on the importance of maintaining healthy eating habits, knowing that if we start now, it will benefit us for years to come.</p>
