Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?

What other toppings work with turkey enchiladas?

Try diced avocado, sliced green onions, or a spoonful of salsa alongside sour cream and cilantro.

How should I store and reheat leftovers?

Cover the baking dish with foil or transfer enchiladas to an airtight container. Store in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
