Ingredients

  • 1 pound extra lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano divided
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 ½ cups Green enchilada sauce (I used medium spice)
  • ¾ cup salsa
  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
  • 1 (14 oz.) can black beans drained & rinsed
  • ¾ cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • ¾ cup cooked brown rice
  • 4 corn tortillas cut into 1 ½-inch strips

  • 3 tablespoons minced cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Add the ground turkey, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and stir in the red bell pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic, remaining ½ teaspoon cumin, remaining ½ teaspoon oregano and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the enchilada sauce, salsa, green chiles, black beans, corn, rice and cook ground turkey to the skillet. Increase heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the corn tortillas, then sprinkle the cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet for a minute to allow the cheese to melt.
  6. Garnish with cilantro. Serve.
