  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 41 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (red, green, or yellow)
– 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 8-10 flour or corn tortillas
– 1 cup enchilada sauce
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese)
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Sour cream, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating these flavorful Ground Turkey Enchiladas is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Add the Ground Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).
4. Incorporate the Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell pepper, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through and vegetables are tender.
5. Prepare Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, warm them slightly in a dry skillet to make them pliable for rolling.
6. Fill the Tortillas: Take a tortilla and spoon about ¼ cup of the turkey mixture into the center. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Add Enchilada Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, covering them completely.
8. Sprinkle Cheese: Top the enchiladas with shredded cheese, covering them generously.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Rest Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
