Updated on Jul 12, 2012

One of my facorite childhood memories is making enchiladas with my mom. This recipe replaces the beef with equal parts ground turkey and black beans and adds some other veggies and spices I prefer. This also omits that dreadful taco seasoning packet for more traditional mexican seasoning. Enjoy!
