TURKEY ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I like this as comfort food - it isn't gourmet, but it is easy to make, and I like the taste of it pretty all right, especially when I am in the mood for Mexican. The key to this recipe is getting GOOD enchilada sauce - you won't be happy with the normal, Americanized El Paso brand, etc. Go to the Mexican food aisle and get some of their sauce. Additionally, good corn tortillas are also very, very important, and the cheaper ones are rubbery (mission brands aren't good). All spice amounts are general, and should be modified to taste ( you should start with less and build the sauce up to the taste you like with these seasonings). This will be pretty mild as suggested, I would start with what is below and build from there.
