Ground Turkey and Bean Enchiladas
Ground turkey & bean enchiladas are a filling and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- ½ pound ground turkey
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper or to taste
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 4 corn tortillas *see note
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup Mexican cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Add the ground turkey to a small skillet and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, and cayenne powder. Use a spatula to break up the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the turkey is cooked through.
- Pour ½ cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Spread the sauce across the bottom of the dish. Reserve the remaining ½ cup of sauce.
- To build each enchilada, lay a tortilla flat and spread several spoonfuls of refried beans in a line down the center. Top the beans with turkey meat and shredded cheese. Fold the edges over the filing and place the folded side down into the baking pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form 4 enchiladas.
- Pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas and top with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar. Bake for 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
Notes
For a crispy tortilla, heat them on a hot griddle or cast-iron pan for 3-4 minutes on each side.
If you prefer the tortillas soft, microwave them for about 15 seconds to make them pliable and easy to fold.
