STACKED ENCHILADAS WITH TURKEY AND CHIPOTLE BEANS
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 200°F. Bring enchilada sauce to simmer in medium skillet over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low. Combine refried beans and chipotles in another medium skillet. Stir bean mixture over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Dip 1 tortilla into enchilada sauce just until softened, about 10 seconds. Using tongs, transfer tortilla to ovenproof plate. Spread 1/3 cup bean mixture over. Top with 1 tablespoon green onions. Dip second tortilla into sauce; place atop bean mixture. Top with 1/2 cup turkey meat, then 1 tablespoon green onions. Dip third tortilla into sauce. Place atop turkey; sprinkle with 1/3 cup Jack cheese, then 1 tablespoon green onions. Dip fourth tortilla into sauce; place atop Jack cheese. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons queso fresco. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas, bean mixture, green onions, turkey, Jack cheese, and queso fresco. Transfer to oven and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Drizzle remaining enchilada sauce over tortilla stacks. Sprinkle each with diced tomatoes, avocado, and remaining green onions and serve warm.
- *Chipotle chiles are simply dried, smoked jalapeños, they're sold canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo. Find them at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Latin markets.

STACKED ENCHILADAS
My husband made a bachelor's version of this when we were dating in college. I've since added some healthier stuff to the mix. It's a favorite with the kids because they can choose what they want in their "stack" and it's a great alternative to eating out since it's so fast. Just dump and heat. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a small frying pan, brown then drain the ground beef.
- In a small sauce pot, heat enchilada sauce.
- In another sauce pot, combine the black beans and corn. Cover and heat.
- I like to warm the tortillas in the microwave then put them in one of those handy plastic tortilla warmers. It's just better when they're warm and soft. (If you really want to go all out, try making your own tortillas with masa mix. You just add water and they taste sooooo much better!).
- Now just make an assembly line. I usually have the two sauce pans on the front burners and the rest on paper plates to the side. Pile on in this order: tortilla, meat, bean/corn combo, sauce, cheese. Repeat so you have two layers. Yummy and quick!
- Some other good toppings include sour cream, guacamole and olives.

This is something I put together one night when I was trying to use up some random ingredients I had on hand. Came out really 'company good'. Soooo not good for a diet though. Makes a large pan.

Tips:
- To make the chipotle beans, you can either use canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or dried chipotle peppers. If using dried peppers, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before pureeing them.
- Be sure to cook the turkey until it is cooked through before adding it to the enchiladas. You can check if the turkey is cooked by using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- To make the enchilada sauce, you can use either a store-bought sauce or make your own. If making your own, be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good consistency.
- When assembling the enchiladas, be sure to layer them in the following order: tortillas, chipotle beans, turkey, enchilada sauce, cheese, and more tortillas. This will help to ensure that the enchiladas are cooked evenly.
- To prevent the enchiladas from sticking to the pan, be sure to grease the pan before adding the enchiladas.
- Bake the enchiladas for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also broil the enchiladas for a few minutes at the end to get a nice golden brown crust.
Conclusion:
Stacked enchiladas with turkey and chipotle beans are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of flavors in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try!
