instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This should take about 10 minutes.

    2

    In a pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté diced onion and green pepper until they are soft, around 5 minutes.

    3

    Add the cooked turkey to the pan along with spices and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    4

    In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Stir and set aside.

    5

    On a tortilla, place a generous scoop of the turkey mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.

    6

    Repeat this for all tortillas until the dish is full.

    7

    Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Top with cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    9

    Serve warm, garnished with the remaining cilantro and enjoy your homemade enchilada!
