Ground Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas


I love all types of food but Mexican food is at the top of my list! This recipe is easy to make and it's a perfect addition for your Mexican Monday rotation. The filling for these enchiladas is so flavorful because the cumin, cayenne pepper and chili powder becomes infused in the ground turkey. The enchiladas are very filling because of the black beans that are added to the mixture. Serve with some Mexican rice and enjoy! Serves 6 1 lb groundturkey  1 can black beans, drained 1 4.5 oz can chopped green chile 1 14.4 oz can diced tomatoes 2 cloves garlic 1/2 of medium onion chopped 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 2 teaspoons of cumin 1/8 tsp chili powder 6 flour tortillas 1 cup of Mexican cheese
