Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine chicken, beans, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, 2/3 cup cranberry sauce, sour cream, 1/2 cup salsa, green onions, cilantro, chipotle peppers, cumin, chili powder and pepper. Place 3/4 cup turkey mixture off center on each tortilla. Roll up and place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, seam side down.

Combine the remaining salsa and cranberry sauce; pour over enchiladas. Cover and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5-10 minutes longer.

Make-ahead option: Cover and refrigerate unbaked enchiladas overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Cover dish with foil; bake as directed, increasing covered time to 35-40 minutes or until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5-10 minutes longer.
