Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  5. Stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Add black beans to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
  7. Remove skillet from heat. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  8. Place a tortilla flat, spoon about 1/4 cup of the turkey and bean mixture down the center, sprinkle with a little cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, then roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  9. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  10. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  11. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For extra heat, add diced jalapeños to the filling or top with a dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado.
