1 can (4 ounces) green chilies

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Add black beans, diced tomatoes, and green chilies. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spread ¼ cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Fill each tortilla with the turkey and black bean mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.

Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
