Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb ground turkey
3 tbsp homemade enchilada seasoning (or 1 oz taco seasoning packet)
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (28 oz) can red enchilada sauce
1–2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8–10 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
- Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until it’s no longer pink.
- Add diced onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Next, stir in the enchilada seasoning, diced tomatoes, and black beans. Mix well to bring the filling together.
- Spread about 1 cup of enchilada sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9 ×13 inch ovensafe dish.
- Scoop about ½ cup of the mixture into each tortilla, then roll them tightly.
- To ensure they bake evenly, arrange the rolled tortillas snugly in the dish, allowing the sauce and heat to distribute properly.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving—add your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, or more cheese!
