Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey (I prefer 93% lean)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • cayenne optional, to taste
  • olive oil
  • ½ large yellow onion or 1 small one, diced
  • 10 oz frozen cauliflower rice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 can black beans (15oz), drained & rinsed
  • 15oz enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 5-6 small corn tortillas cut into strips & then halved
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add ground turkey and start breaking it apart with your spatula. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper & cayenne. Continue cooking and breaking apart until done through (about 4 minutes). Remove ground turkey from the pan and set aside.

  • Gently stir in the tortilla strips so you don't break them. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top of the skillet, cover with a lid and continue to let it cook at medium-low heat until the cheese is melted.
