Ground Turkey Enchiladas

Sometimes I wonder if some part of my family didn't originate somewhere Southwest because I LOVE me some Mexican food!!! I could honestly eat it every day of the week. Unfortunately, it can be pretty loaded up with fats and excessive carbohydrates. So, when I find a healthy Mexican recipe that is good, it STICKS!

These ground turkey enchiladas with vegetarian refried beans are to die for. Totally man approved as well!

Ground Turkey Enchiladas

Recipe adapted from Trainer Momma!

What You'll Need:
-1 lb. lean ground turkey
-1 can vegetarian (or fat free) refried beans
-1 packet low sodium (or homemade) taco seasoning
-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
-1 14 oz. can red enchilada sauce
-8-10 whole wheat tortilla wraps

Preparation:
1) Brown ground turkey in cooking pan; rinse when done and cook with taco seasoning according to directions

2) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3) In each tortilla wrap, put a spoonful of refried beans and a serving of ground turkey. Sprinkle it with cheddar cheese. Roll each tortilla up side by side in your baking dish.

4) When all of your tortillas are rolled next to each other, pour the red enchilada sauce over the top of all of them and in between them. (Can you say JUICINESS?!)

5) Bake tortillas for 30 mins.

6) When done, sprinkle with the rest of the cheddar cheese and place back in oven for a few mins or until cheese is melted.

I love topping mine with green onions, and serving them with some homemade quacamole and a spoonful of plain greek yogurt to replace sour cream. Plus cut up tomato and lettuce.

Enjoy!!!
