- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
2 turkey tenderloins, cooked and cut into bite size pieces, at least 3 cups2 cups pinto beans, cooked or canned and drained10 (6-inch) corn tortillas4 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese 3 cups of chicken broth 1 jar Dona Maria Mole Mexican SauceOptional: sour cream and sliced avocado for serving
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add the mole to a medium saucepan over medium heat, and slowly stir in the chicken broth. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Sauce should be smooth.
Pour 1/2 cup of the mole sauce into the prepared baking dish and line bottom with tortilla halves--i used 2 whole halves and one broken in half. I used small pieces to fill in blank spaces.
Top with 1 cup of the turkey and 1 cup of beans and cover with 3/4 cup of the mole sauce. Top with 3/4 cup of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, beans , mole sauce, and cheese.
Add one more layer of tortillas, turkey, mole sauce, and cheese. (You may have some sauce leftover.) Add a final layer of cheese, covering as though it were a lasagna
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes, until cheese has melted.
Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream and avocado, if using. You may even decorate with fresh cilantro leaves, thinly sliced red onion. Enjoy!
