Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Fry the tortillas lightly in a little oil in a skillet using tongs until they are just softened, then drain them on paper towels.
- Place one tortilla on each of four ovenproof plates.
- Spread the turkey over each tortilla, add some cheese, and onion, and a small amount of the black mole sauce of choice.
- Continue the process until the tortillas are stacked three high on each plate.
- Top the final enchilada in the following manner: ladle more sauce over the tortilla stack until it is puddled up as deep as it will stand around the base of the stack.
- Cover the enchiladas lightly with grated cheese and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish, and serve.
