Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 12" (23 x 30 cm) baking dish.
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium heat, add ground beef, onion, riced cauliflower, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and water. Cook for about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add half the sauce to the browned beef mixture. Put two overlapping slices of turkey together to form a long roll. Place 4-5 tbsp of beef mixture on the turkey, lengthwise and slightly off-center. Lift the side of the turkey that is nearest to the beef, and roll it to the opposite side. Repeat, to make one roll per serving.
- Place beef-stuffed rolls into the baking dish and sprinkle with half the cheese. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese has melted on top.
Tip!
Smaller rolls can be made by using only one slice of deli turkey breast per roll. Sliced deli chicken breast can be used in place of turkey.

Also, for recipes that use sliced deli meat instead of pasta, I really don't think it makes that much difference (we've used both) but we do make sure not to get 'flavored' deli meat just 'browned'.
Outstanding, Julie!! Way to use what you have!
