Add chicken broth, 1/4 cup at a time, beating until masa has a smooth and workable consistency similar to cookie dough, about 3/4 cup total. Test if the masa is ready by dropping a small ball of masa into a glass of cold water; if it floats, it's ready, if not, beat the dough a little longer.

• guajillo chile pepper
• water

• onion
• beef brisket

Instructions

1. 1 Place brisket in a stovetop pressure cooker. Add onion, garlic, bay leaves, and salt; cover with water. Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound, about 10 minutes. Adjust temperature until regulator is gently rocking. Cook for 60 minutes.
2. 2 Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.
3. 3 Remove brisket from the pressure cooker and shred with 2 forks. Strain the cooking liquid, discarding solids. Measure 2 cups for the barbacoa sauce and save the rest for another use.
4. 4 Combine guajillo chile peppers and ancho chile peppers in a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand in the hot water until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain.
5. 5 Combine softened chile peppers, vinegar, garlic, cloves, allspice, black pepper, oregano, thyme, cumin, ginger, cinnamon and reserved 2 cups cooking liquid; blend until thick and very smooth.
6. 6 Pour sauce into a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and season with salt. Bring to a soft boil; reduce the heat to low. Stir in shredded beef, coating completely with sauce. Cover pot and cook until flavors combine, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Ingredients

• ✓ ancho chile pepper
• vegetable oil
• corn tortilla
• hot pepper sauce
• cheddar cheese
• turkey
• heavy cream
• sour cream
• cream cheese
• paprika
• cumin
• chipotle chile pepper
• black pepper
• kosher salt
• orange bell pepper
• yellow bell pepper
• green bell pepper
• onion
• olive oil
• butter

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 9x12-inch baking dishes.
2. 2 Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and bell peppers; cook and stir until peppers have softened and onion has turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Add kosher salt, black pepper, chipotle pepper, ancho pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook and stir until seasonings become fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
3. 3 Add cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream; stir well to combine. Cook over low heat until mixture is heated through and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 of the cream-pepper mixture for topping.
4. 4 Combine shredded turkey with 2 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Add remaining cream-pepper mixture and stir lightly to mix. Set aside.
5. 5 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Cook 1 tortilla at a time in hot oil until hot and pliable, 20 to 30 seconds. Stack warmed tortillas and cover to retain heat.
6. 6 To assemble enchiladas, lay a few tortillas on the counter. Place 1/4 cup creamy turkey filling in a line down the center of each tortilla, roll tortillas, and lay a total of 11 enchiladas, seam-side down, into each prepared baking dish. Top each dish with 1/2 of the reserved cream-pepper mixture.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until enchiladas are heated through and sauce begins to brown and bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking dishes from the oven, sprinkle each with 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, and return to the oven to finish baking until topping is melted, browned, and bubbling, about 15 more minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
