OLE!

I made homemade enchilada pie tonight. I've bought the "out of the box" kit before but tonight I made it all from scratch... with the exception of the enchilada sauce.

 Since I will be gone this weekend relaxing with my sisters-in law at the spa enjoying no husbands or kids, I decided I'd make one last meal before I go.  (I thought there'd be leftovers! Ah, but no!)  I made some Jackson quesadillas...just tortillas and velveeta--  but he didn't eat that or the meatballs he requested.  So, Danny and I enjoyed dinner for 2 tonight! 

Homemade Turkey Enchilada Pie

1lb ground turkey

seasonings: garlic powder, chili powder, ground mustard, paprika, cinnamon

pam/cooking spray

white corn tortillas

salsa

1 can enchilada sauce

1 bag mexican blend shredded cheese

sour cream

Preheat oven to 375

Brown 1lb ground turkey with garlic, chili powder, paprika, ground mustard and cinnamon

Add about 1/2 c. salsa then about 1c. water.  Let it simmer and continue to break apart the meat.

Spray 8x8 dish with pam and layer the ingredients tortilla, meat, 1/8 of the enchilada sauce and a handful of cheese until all the meat is gone.  On top, lay one tortilla flat, pour on the rest of the enchilada sauce and remaining cheese. 

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Top w/ sour cream

The "pie" element of the enchiladas was by accident.  I wanted to use corn tortillas because they are healthier.  But, when I tried to roll them, they kept cracking.  So, I layered the tortillas flat to make enchilada pie.  It turned out to be a happy mistake!

I served it with fat free refried beans and corn.  After the first bite, Danny said "Wow! That's really good!" like 4 times.  We ate the entire pan... I'm not proud of that.

Danny is on his own tomorrow night for dinner while I'm at the spa with Anna and Kristin.  I'm guessing this is when the Digournos or frozen corndogs will come in handy! :)
