Turkey Enchiladas

IMG_8589

I kind of made this dish up along the way as I was using up some left over turkey as a casserole dish hubby can take to work. It came out really good with a kick to it. You may have to adjust the seasoning to your liking. Also, it may seem like a lot of sauce and you can easily use one can rather then 2 but it soaks up as it cooks. Feel free to sub chicken or beef in there as well, it works with any kind of left over meat you have on hand.

Combine cooked corn mixture with the next 7 items and ½ of the pepper jack cheese. (I mixed the sauce and spices separate and just combined the corn mixture, cheese and turkey.)
