what you’ll need:
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 can black beans
1 medium sweet potato
1 small yellow onion
4oz can hatch chilis
1 15oz jar of enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
1 tbs chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Garnish
Freshly sliced jalapeño (optional)
Diced tomato
Sliced avocado
Chopped cilantro
Sour cream
Instructions:
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees.
In a large oven safe skillet add in the ground turkey and cook about 5-7 minutes until brown.
While the ground turkey is cooking chop the sweet potato into cubes and finely dice the onion. Once the meat had browned add in the onion and all seasonings to the skillet, stir, and let it cook about 3 minutes until the onions begin to be soft.
Next add in the black beans, hatch chilis, sweet potato, and the jar of enchilada sauce. Mix everything together well then cover with a lid. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft. Take off the lid and let it simmer a few more minutes on medium heat to let the sauce thicken a bit.
You’ll then top it with 2 cups of the shredded cheese and place in the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese has melted. I like to broil mine on low for about 1 minute at the end to get the cheese nice and crisp!
Top with sliced jalapeño (omit if you don’t like spicy), diced tomato, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro and some sour cream. Serve immediately & enjoy!
