Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives
• 24 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• 1 (19 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
• 4 cups cooked turkey, chopped
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
• 1 tablespoon oil, divided, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce into a bowl.

Step 3

Combine Cheddar-Jack cheese, onion, and black olives in a small bowl.

Step 4

Repeat Step 3, using more oil as needed, to form and roll 11 more enchiladas; they should cover the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 5

Spread enchilada sauce over the enchiladas to cover. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to form, roll, and place remaining 12 enchiladas. Spread remaining sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.

Step 6

Brush a small skillet with enough oil to coat a tortilla, and heat over low heat. Cook tortilla in hot oil until softened, 15 to 30 seconds per side. Remove and dip in enchilada sauce to coat, then place on a plate. Place some turkey and some cheese mixture in the center of the tortilla, roll up, and place it in the prepared baking dish.
