Preheat oven to 375°.
In a small bowl, combine chile powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.*
1 teaspoon chile powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper
In a large bowl, combine shredded turkey, sour cream, drained green chile, 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, 1 ½ cups jack cheese, and taco seasoning.
3 cups cooked turkey, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup diced green chiles, 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 ½ cups shredded jack cheese
Place enchilada sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. You want it to be slightly warm.
28 oz Green Enchilada Sauce
Dip a corn tortilla in the warmed enchilada sauce, then place a heaping spoonful of the turkey mixture into the center of the tortilla and roll up. Place in a 9x13 baking dish and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
12 corn tortillas
Once all the tortillas are used, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas, and sprinkle with the 1 cup of mozzarella and 1 cup of jack cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven and sprinkle with crushed pepper flakes and cilantro.

Tips and Tricks

If you have a favorite taco seasoning mixture that is premade, you can use 2 tablespoon of that instead.
If some of the corn tortillas crack or split while rolling, it will be okay. No one will notice after they are covered in melted cheese, I promise.
Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Reheat: To reheat, you can either microwave, checking every 30 seconds until heating through, or reheat in the oven at the same baking temperature as cooking, but for less time.
Freeze: You can make these and freeze them for up to 3 months. I recommend preparing them up to the point right before you bake them. Prepare in an oven-safe, freezer-safe dish. Thaw overnight and then bake according to the directions.
