---

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!
