4 servings
For the enchiladas
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 lb ground turkey
Chef's tipBrown it just like ground meat, using the same amount. It's leaner than turkey, so add a little oil to the pan to keep it from sticking. - 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup pickled jalapeños, drained and roughly chopped
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
- 12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
For the red chile sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - ½ tsp salt
For the cilantro slaw
- 3 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt

For serving
- ½ cup sour cream (optional)

Make the red chile sauce: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder and stir constantly for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine, cooking for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and salt, whisk until smooth, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
