Healthy Turkey And Black Bean Enchiladas Recipes

TURKEY ENCHILADAS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Sauté the diced onion over medium-high heat in the olive oil in a large skillet until softened and starting to brown (about 3 minutes).
• Add the minced garlic (2 cloves) and ground turkey (1 lb.), along with kosher salt and black pepper. Continue cooking over medium-high heat, breaking up the turkey into small pieces and stirring consistently, until turkey is just cooked through (about 5 minutes).
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the black beans and corn. Stir and heat until ingredients are warmed through (about 1-2 minutes).
• Add 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce to the turkey mixture and stir together. Turn off heat.
• Meanwhile, wrap the flour tortillas (10) in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to a minute, to warm them up. This will make them more malleable and easier to roll.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture (just estimate, it doesn't have to be perfect), along with about 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to overlap the two sides, and place each seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
• If you have any leftover filling, just stuff along the ends of the prepared enchiladas in the baking dish (or use it for another purpose).
• Cover the center of the enchiladas with the remaining 1 cup of enchilada sauce, and top with remaining cheese.
• Bake covered with foil at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 more minutes, until cheese is fully melted and ends of enchiladas are starting to brown a bit.
• Serve topped with diced avocado, red onion, fresh cilantro, and sour cream, if desired.
