MEXICAN MANICOTTI (ENCHILADA STYLE)



Mexican Manicotti (Enchilada Style) image

I was looking through all the Mexican manicotti recipes and none of them use enchilada sauce. This is the product of that experiment. I suggest making recipe#71916. It is my go to sauce recipe. You can adjust the spice level by using a spicy or mild chili powder.

Provided by sbera007

Categories     Manicotti

Time 1h

Yield 12 noodles, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground turkey
1 jalapeno (chopped)
1 green pepper (chopped)
3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I use Penzey's Bold Seasoning)
1/2 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans (I like to use black beans)
12 manicotti
3 cups enchilada sauce
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350.
  • Brown turkey, jalapeno, and green pepper until turkey is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile heat water and cook manicotti according to package directions. (I always make a couple extra noodles because one or two inevitably break.).
  • Drain turkey (if needed). Add water and taco seasoning. Simmer for about five minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add refried beans. Let cool, so you don't burn yourself when you stuff the noodles.
  • Put a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of 13X9 pan.
  • Stuff cooked noodles with turkey mixture and place in pan.
  • Top with remaining enchilada sauce. Cook for 30 minutes.
  • Top with cheese and cook another 15 minutes.
  • I like to serve mine with some shredded lettuce and tomato.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the manicotti will taste. This means using fresh chicken, vegetables, and cheeses.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan, will give the manicotti a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Don't overfill the manicotti shells. If you overfill the shells, they will be difficult to roll up and will be more likely to break.
  • Bake the manicotti until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the manicotti is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Mexican-style chicken manicotti is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and is also a perfect meal for a party or potluck. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give Mexican-style chicken manicotti a try!
