Quick & Healthy Enchilada Skillet Recipe


  • Author: Jessica

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 small corn tortillas or 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (or black beans for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups enchilada sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Toppings: diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add ground turkey (or beans) to the skillet. Cook until turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add black beans and 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Stir to combine, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Slice tortillas into strips or wedges and layer them on top of the skillet mixture. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the layered tortillas.
  7. Place the skillet in the oven and broil on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the skillet from the oven carefully. Let cool for 5 minutes before adding toppings like diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
