Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas

I love Mexican food!  I love this recipe because it's quick, healthy, and is full of flavor.  I like to add a mix of chilies and jalapenos to make it extra spicy.  These are also great to freeze and grab for a later supper.  Enjoy!

Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas

 

Ingredients:

·      ½ pounds ground, uncooked turkey

·      16 oz. can fat-free refried beans

Instructions:

1.     Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

2.     Cook turkey in a skillet and cook until lightly browned. 

3.     Once browned, add refried beans, 1 and ¾ cup salsa, chili peppers, jalapenos, and chili powder in the skillet.  Cook until heated through.  Add the cheese and stir.

4.     Warm tortillas in the microwave to they can be rolled.

5.     Spoon ½ cup of the turkey/bean mixture onto the tortilla.  Fold the sides and roll up.

6.     Place the enchiladas into the pan seam-side down.  Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.  If wanted, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and keep in oven until cheese is melted.
