Ingredients

• 1¼ lb lean ground turkey
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning (or to your liking)
• 1½ tsp. ground cumin
• 4 oz package of Neufchatel cheese (low fat cream cheese)
• 1 C shredded Mexican cheese (divided)
• 1 Can black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1½ C frozen corn (thawed)
• 1 Can diced tomatoes (drained)
• 1 Can diced green chilies
• ¼ C Salsa
• 20 Whole Wheat Tortillas
• 2 Can red enchilada sauce
• FOR TOPPINGS
• Minced fresh cilantro
• Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Olives

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. In a large non-stick skillet brown the turkey meat and diced onion until there is no more pink and the onion is tender.
3. Add spices to meat and stir to combine.
4. Add the Neufchatel cheese and ½ C Mexican blend cheese, stirring well until all the cheese has melted.
5. Add drained beans, corn, tomatoes, chilies and salsa. Mix well.
6. Pour ½ of one can of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13X9 inch baking dish. Pour the second half into another 13X9 inch baking dish.
7. Start forming your enchiladas by placing a heaping spoonful of turkey and bean mixture onto each tortilla, and rolling it up by turning in the edges, folding over one side, then rolling to the other side or the tortilla. You should have 10 enchiladas per baking dish.
8. Pour the other can of enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. (1/2 of a can per dish)
9. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and some fresh cilantro.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is nice and bubbly.
11. Serve with chopped lettuce, tomato, olives and yogurt. (Or whatever other toppings float your boat.)
