Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and ground turkey. Cook until turkey is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-7 minutes.
Stir in black beans, green chilies, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place a portion of the turkey and bean mixture into each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam side down in the baking dish.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute ground chicken or beef if preferred.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
Top with avocado, sour cream, or salsa for added flavor.
