Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 8 Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 16 ounces Red enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until fully browned, about 6-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the turkey. Stir well to evenly coat the meat with the spices.
Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the turkey mixture into the center of the tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring all are covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
