We have been trying to find some healthier recipes lately, and came across these Black Bean and Turkey Enchiladas that had been made with ground beef.
However, ground beef can make me a little sick, so I opted for ground turkey instead. They tasted amazing
They were so delicious and filling that my husband could only eat one. They only required a few ingredients, and take minutes to make.

Let us give you your time back. With the Six Sisters’ Meal Plans, we do the dinner planning, grocery ordering, and then all you have to do is decide whether to pick them up or have them delivered.
Tips for making Black Bean and Turkey Enchiladas:
- First you cook your ground turkey in a non-stick pan. I like to rinse mine once it is done cooking, just because the grease from the meat is a little gross to me.
- Once the ground turkey is cooked, add the washed and drained black beans. You don’t have to drain them, but it might make your enchilada’s a little soggy if you don’t.
- You can also use any bean you would like. I have only tried black beans, but pinto would be delicious as well. Again, I would wash and drain whatever bean is used.
- We like to flavor our meat by using a taco or fajita seasoning packet. I used a taco seasoning packet on mine.
- Sprinkle it over the cooked ground turkey and black beans until it is evenly mixed.

- I try to opt for a healthier recipe so I went for the whole wheat tortillas, but my husband prefers white flour tortillas. You could use any tortilla for this recipe, they would all taste great. It is just what you prefer.
- Place about 1/2 cup of the mixture in each tortilla, and roll it up. Place each tortilla in a sprayed 9×13″ pan.
- Once all the enchilada’s have been rolled up, pour about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce over each one. Sprinkle your favorite cheese on top of the covered enchilada’s. I used a Mexican blend of pre-shredded cheese.
What to garnish your Black Bean and Turkey Enchiladas with:
Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, olives, tomatoes, sour cream, green onions, avocado, etc. Eat warm and enjoy.
Could I make these Black Bean and Turkey Enchiladas with ground beef?
Ground beef is a little more inexpensive than ground turkey, and many people prefer the taste of ground beef as well. In this recipe you can’t really tell it is ground turkey.
However, if you were wanting to use beef in this recipe, you most definitely could. Beef cooks just like ground turkey, and no other areas of the recipe need to be fixed or changed.

This looks so good! I’ve never thought to add turkey into enchiladas. I can’t wait to try this out
How long do you bake this if you make it ahead and leave it in the fridge?
Where they will be in the fridge, you may want to heat them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. If you were to just broil them they may not be heated all the way through.
Loved this! I used green chile sauce like your video and a homemade taco seasoning. Fast and delicious!
I was excited to try this recipe. I used beef and sprinkled a fajita packet on it- bad choice on my part! Without cooking in the spice with water it was overpowering, granular, and tasted strange with the beef. Adding a lot of sour cream helped me my mix. I may try these again with turkey and cooking in taco seasoning with water before baking as I love the hearty bean and meat combo.
How would you make/reheat this so it could be a freezer meal?
Thaw in the fridge overnight and then microwave or heat in the oven.
