If you have never used tortillas in a casserole, you need to try the recipe that follows. As soon as possible. When tortillas are covered with sauce and cooked, they soften up so much they are almost like pasta noodles. No joke. Casseroled tortillas are so good! But they still don't take away from the other goodness this dish is brimming with.
That goodness includes corn, black beans, cheese, and lots of enchilada sauce. Those pieces of cooked turkey in the middle can't be missed though. And while turkey may not be an obvious choice for enchiladas, it's certainly a delicious one. This dish is messy, it's gooey, it's everything you want a great dinner to be.
