Ground Turkey Enchiladas
Servings: 2-4
Ingredients:
For the Enchiladas:
8 White Corn Tortillas
2 Cups Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded
1 lb. Ground Turkey
Taco Seasoning (I use the “Siete Foods” brand), to taste
Enchilada Sauce (I use the “Gran Luchito Red Sauce”)
Salt, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Chili powder, to taste
Cumin, to taste
1/2 Cup White Onion, finely chopped
Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Lime (optional, for garnish)
Sour Cream (optional, for garnish)
For the Seasoned Black Beans:
1 Can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
Water or Cooking Oil (as needed)
Garlic powder, to taste
Onion powder, to taste
Chili powder, to taste
Cumin, to taste
Salt, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Seasoned Black Beans:
Rinse and drain the black beans.
In a pot over medium heat, add the black beans and a small amount of water or cooking oil.
Mash the beans to achieve a "refried bean" consistency.
Season the mashed beans to taste with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and salt.
Remove the beans from the heat and set them aside.
2. Cook and Season the Ground Turkey:
In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until fully cooked.
Season the cooked turkey with salt and taco seasoning to taste. Set aside.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
In a pan, warm the white corn tortillas until they become soft and malleable. Keep them warm by placing them in a clean, folded kitchen towel.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Take a tortilla and fill it in the following order: black beans, ground turkey, cheese.
Roll up the tortilla and place it in the baking dish.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, creating two layers if necessary.
5. Bake the Enchiladas:
Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
Sprinkle cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, lime juice, and sour cream, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
