"I made Turkey Enchiladas last night after I found a packet of Enchilada seasoning and can of Enchilada sauce in the cupboard. I never made Enchiladas before so they took a lot longer to make than I thought. They were a BIG hit. Emily, my finicky eater, ate 2 and took one for lunch. Ryan said “Dad, these are great!” I learned you don’t spread the filling down the middle of the shell because you can’t roll the thing very well, spread it about in a line about ¼ of the way from the edge. I also sprinkled some cheese on top before I baked them."
