Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas

Tender tortillas wrapped around seasoned ground turkey and black beans, then smothered in homemade enchilada sauce and melted cheese — this is the kind of weekend showstopper that feeds a crowd without keeping you stuck in the kitchen all day.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)
• 8 corn or flour tortillas
• 1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
2. Brown the turkey with onion and garlic over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5 minutes). Stir in cumin and chili powder.
3. Mix in black beans and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
4. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the baking dish bottom.
5. Warm tortillas, then fill each with turkey-bean mixture, roll tightly, and arrange seam-side down in the dish.
6. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with cheese.
7. Bake 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Chef's tip: Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet before filling — they'll be pliable and won't tear, making rolling effortless and your dish look restaurant-worthy.
