🦃 A lean ground‑turkey enchilada that delivers bold Mexican flavor while staying light and protein‑packed
🌶️ Ready in under an hour, this quick, healthy dinner is perfect for busy weeknights and fits a balanced eating plan

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

– 1 tsp olive oil

– 1 small onion, finely chopped

– 1 lb (≈ 450 g) 93 % lean ground turkey

– ½ tsp kosher salt, divided (≈ 2 g)

– ½ tsp ground cumin (≈ 1 g)

– 1 tsp granulated garlic powder (≈ 3 g)

– ¼ tsp chili powder (≈ 0.5 g)

– 1 (15‑oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed (≈ 425 g)

– 1½ cup (≈ 170 g) shredded Mexican‑style cheese blend, divided

– About 2 cup (≈ 480 ml) enchilada sauce, divided (1 cup mixed into the filling, ¼ cup for the pan bottom, ¾ cup poured over the rolled tortillas)

– 10 small (8‑inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Notes

🌽 Tip: Use flour tortillas for the softest roll; if using corn tortillas, dip them briefly in enchilada sauce before filling.
🔥 Tip: A homemade enchilada sauce adds depth, but a high‑quality store‑bought sauce works fine and saves time.
❄️ Tip: Double the recipe and freeze half for a ready‑made meal; bake from frozen, adding 10‑15 minutes to the cooking time.
