Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch size)
• 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly season the meat.

Step 6

Add the canned black beans to the turkey mixture and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the turkey and bean filling into the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

Roll each filled tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 9

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
