Ingredients
  

FOR THE CHILI:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • ½ chopped yellow onion
  • 28 ounces canned fire-roasted tomatoes in juice
  • 2 chopped bell peppers any color
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 can mixed beans in mild chili sauce Bush’s is a good brand
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

FOR THE ENCHILADAS:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 10- ounce can mild green enchilada sauce

Instructions
 

  • Set an Instant Pot to saute and add some oil to stop the meat sticking.
  • Add the garlic and cook, then add both meats and cook until browned but not cooked all the way through.
  • Stir in the onions, bell peppers, and remaining chili ingredients.
  • Cover and cook using the pressure cook setting for 30 minutes.
  • Either perform a quick release or let the pressure release naturally.
  • Two-thirds of this chili mixture won’t be used in the enchiladas, so portion it out and chill or freeze for future meals. Hold on to the reserved third of it.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Strain most of the liquid out of the reserved chili and keep the liquid.
  • Put some of the liquid in a 13 x 9-inch baking sheet.
  • Put a tortilla in there and add ⅛ of the chili along with 2 tablespoons of cheddar and roll up into an enchilada.
  • Repeat with the rest of the tortillas, the rest of the cheddar and the rest of the chili.
  • Pour the strained chili liquid over the top and then pour the green enchilada sauce on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Discard the foil and sprinkle the monterey jack cheese over all the enchiladas.
  • Bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
  • Enjoy!
