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
  • chopped cilantro (for topping)

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Add oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Then, add onion and frozen cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.

  3. 3

    Add back in the cooked turkey, beans, enchilada sauce and salsa. Stir until incorporated. Then, reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy!
