Quick Enchilada Bowls

If you’ve ever craved comfort food that doesn’t take hours to make then this is for you. Our quick turkey enchilada bowls begin with seasoned low fat turkey in a spiced sauce, cooked in minutes. Then you choose how you like to finish the dish.

These bowls are inspired by a recipe cooked during Vonda’s appearance at the Instant Pot and Air Fryer Cooking Schools in Johnson City, TN last month.

I often substitute turkey with plant based ground meat from Quorn my personal preference because it is a frozen and doesn’t require browning. In addition it is lower in saturated fat and sodium than the alternatives. Fresh meat-free ingredients I occasionally include are from The Meatless Farm and Beyond Meat.

Once the dish is cooked simply spoon it into bowls or onto tortilla with your favorite toppings such as avocado, extra cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

A quick, fuss free dinner for any day of the week when you’re time challenged.
