0 Preheat oven to 350°F. In a skillet with oil, cook onions on medium-high heat until tender. Then, add in 1/2 Cup Enchilada Sauce, Diced Chipotle (or Jalapeño), Taco Seasoning and the Shredded Turkey. Once warm, stir in 1 Cup of Enchilada Sauce and bring to a low simmer. 1 In a 9 x 13 casserole dish, spread 1/2 Cup of Enchilada Sauce on the bottom. 2 Add one layer of tortillas on top of the sauce. Cut to fit if needed. We used 6 tortillas. 3 Top the tortillas with 1/2 of your meat mixture from the skillet. Then, cover meat with a 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheese. 4 Add a second layer of tortillas and coat the with 1/2 Cup of Enchilada Sauce. Then, add the remaining meat mixture topped with another layer of 1/2 Cup of Shredded Cheese. 5 Finish the casserole by adding a final layer of tortillas, followed by 1/2 Cup of Enchilada Sauce and 1 Cup of Shredded Cheese. 6 Bake for 35-40 minutes making sure your meat is heated to 165°F and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 7 Optional: Top with black olives and green onions.
