• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)

• 8 small corn tortillas, cut into strips
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef (or ground turkey) to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-6 minutes). Drain excess grease if needed.

Stir in the diced onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring until fragrant.

Pour in the enchilada sauce and stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the black beans, frozen corn, and tortilla strips to the skillet. Stir everything together until the tortilla strips are evenly coated in the sauce.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the skillet mixture. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
