ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 (1 ounce) package low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium black beans (drained and rinsed) or (15 ounce) can low-sodium pinto beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (4 oz)
-
Garnishes
- chopped fresh cilantro
- pico de gallo
- sour cream
- chopped green onion
-
Serve with
- warm tortilla
- tortilla chips
- cooked rice
directions
- Saute the onion and jalapeno in a skillet until tender. Use some oil if you like, I usually just add a little water to help soften the onion. It does not need to brown.
- Add the ground meat and saute on medium high, until it loses its pink color.
- Add the taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and beans, and cook, stirring frequently, until it is heated through and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Top with cheese and cover for a few minutes to let it melt. I am cooking for just one, so i prefer to add cheese to just my plated serving.
- Note1: You can use homecooked beans, about 2 cups. Also, if you need to stretch the servings a bit, add another can of beans.
- Note2: The commercial taco seasonings contain salt. I prefer to use a homemade one that has no salt, and add about 1/2 tsp of salt to the dish, which is enough for me. If you are using a homemade taco seasoning, use whatever amount is recommended for 1 lb of meat. I used Recipe 516392 .

A simple and delicious filling! I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef and used a can of black beans with some seasoning and a few kernels of corn in it (surprise! I really thought I opened a regular can of black beans!) but other than that followed the recipe as directed. It was REALLY GOOD and the kiddos loved it! We used it as a tostada topping instead of a burrito filling... but we did have some rice on the side! Definitely a keeper of a recipe for a fast and filling weeknight family meal.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
