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.

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.

This recipe was a disaster. The manicotti shells were overcooked and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a fan of Mexican food, but I tried this recipe anyway and I was surprised at how much I liked it. The flavors were really good.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The only thing I change is that I use a different type of cheese. I prefer a Mexican blend or a sharp cheddar.

I made this recipe for my family and they all loved it. Even my picky kids gobbled it up. The leftovers were just as good the next day.

This is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. It's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of the manicotti shells, the enchilada sauce, and the cheese is irresistible.

I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! The manicotti shells were cooked perfectly and the filling was flavorful and cheesy. I especially loved the enchilada sauce, which was the perfect finishing touch.
