Print Recipe

These Ground Turkey Black Bean Enchiladas are a healthy and flavorful Mexican-inspired dish, packed with lean protein, black beans, and a zesty enchilada sauce baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 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 (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute.
  6. Add black beans and half of the enchilada sauce to the meat mixture. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  8. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the turkey and bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  9. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
  11. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.

Notes

For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling or on top before baking.
