Enchilada Chili
This recipe was a happy discovery. I adapted it from a recipe my mother adapted from some cooking magazine. My mother's recipe is for Spinach and Beef enchiladas. It is a fabulous recipe and if you want it just ask and I will get it to you.
I made this with ground sirloin but I think it would be just as good with ground turkey. This a cruise phase only recipe for protein and vegetable days.
