Ground Turkey Black Bean Enchiladas
Description
This enchilada recipe assembles a filling of ground turkey sautéed with onion, garlic, and seeded jalapeño for balanced heat, then mixed with black beans and diced tomatoes. The mixture is seasoned with a homemade or store-bought enchilada seasoning blend, imparting chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and garlic notes. Rolled in flour tortillas and placed seam-side down, the enchiladas are smothered with flavorful red enchilada sauce and shredded cheddar cheese for a rich finish.
Baking the dish until the cheese is melted and bubbly creates a pleasant texture contrast with the soft tortillas and tender filling. The dish’s taste is hearty and mildly spicy with the combination of seasoned turkey and beans. The jalapeño adds a subtle warmth without overwhelming the other flavors.
You can serve these enchiladas hot, garnished with salsa, diced avocado, chopped onions, or extra cheese according to preference. They make a filling meal suitable for dinner and can be accompanied by rice or salad.
The recipe’s enchilada seasoning blend can be adjusted to taste or substituted with a store-bought taco seasoning packet if needed. Using drained and rinsed canned beans keeps the filling from becoming too wet.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 3 Tbsp. enchilada seasoning recipe in notes below
- 1, (15 oz.) black beans canned, drained and rinsed
- 1, (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes canned
- 1, (28 oz. can) Red Enchilada Sauce
- 1-2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 8-10, flour tortillas 8-inch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large sauté pan or skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add in the diced onion, garlic, jalapeño, salt and pepper and cook for ~5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add in the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Add in the enchilada seasoning, diced tomatoes and black beans. Stir to combine. Pour ~ 1 cup of the red enchilada sauce down in a 9x13 inch oven safe baking dish.
- Scoop the filling in the tortillas and roll them up. I add ~1/2 cup of the filling in each enchilada. Pour more enchilada sauce over the enchiladas so they are covered. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, feel free to be generous with the cheese!
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese has melted and is bubbly. Let enchiladas cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite enchilada toppers: salsa, avocado, red onion, more cheese, etc.
Notes
- Make enchilada seasoning by combining chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, coriander, garlic powder, and salt, or use 1 oz. taco seasoning packet.
- Drain and rinse canned black beans to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
- Add your preferred enchilada toppings like salsa, avocado, or extra cheese after baking.
