  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground turkey
  • 1 can (10 oz) mild red enchilada sauce
  • 1 jar (16 oz) black bean and corn salsa
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican four-cheese blend (8 oz)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F.

  3. Fold tortillas in half and place folded-side-down in dish; set aside.
  4. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook ground turkey over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain.
  5. In the same pan, add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, 2/3 cup black bean and corn salsa and 1 cup of the shredded cheese; stir to combine.
  6. Divide meat mixture evenly among tortillas; wrap tortillas around filling and place seam side down.
  7. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and remaining 1 cup cheese. Spray sheet of foil large enough to cover baking dish with cooking spray. Cover baking dish with foil, sprayed side down.
  8. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Notes

  • Bean salsa, corn salsa or a mix of both make these easy enchiladas special, but any salsa will do in a pinch.
  • Shredded lettuce, guacamole, salsa and sour cream all make great garnishes for this easy baked dinner.
  • Want to go meatless? Substitute 1 lb meatless veggie crumbles for the ground beef in this recipe.
  • To freeze: Spray 2 (8-inch square) disposable foil cake pans with cooking spray. Fold tortillas in half and place 4 folded-side-down in each pan; set aside. Prepare filling and fill tortillas according to recipe; wrap tortillas around filling and place seam side down. Top each pan with half of the remaining enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese. After covering pans with sprayed foil, place in gallon-size resealable freezer plastic bags, or wrap in double layer of plastic wrap. Label and freeze. To bake: Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Heat oven to 350°F. Remove from plastic, and place foil-covered pan(s) on cookie sheet. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F. If baking from frozen, bake 1 hour, then remove foil and bake 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center reads 165°F.
