Tips:

  • Prep the Beans: Before using the chipotle beans in the enchiladas, rinse and drain them well. This helps remove excess liquid and prevents the enchiladas from becoming soggy.
  • Shred the Turkey: Use leftover cooked turkey or roast a turkey breast specifically for this recipe. Shred the turkey into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the enchiladas.
  • Make the Chipotle Sauce: The chipotle sauce is a key component that adds a smoky, spicy flavor to the enchiladas. Use canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for convenience. Blend the peppers with a little bit of the adobo sauce, tomato sauce, and chicken broth until smooth.
  • Assemble the Enchiladas: Layer the tortillas, chipotle sauce, turkey, beans, and cheese in a casserole dish. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up. Ensure each layer is evenly distributed for a balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Bake and Serve: Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are slightly browned. Let the enchiladas cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
