Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 large onion , diced
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
15 ounces canned black beans , rinsed well and drained
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 lime , juiced
12 yellow corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
14 ounces green chili enchilada sauce

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for 6 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the ground turkey to the onion mixture and break it up using a meat masher.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Add tomato paste and lime juice; stir to combine.
Add the beans and bouillon granules, and mix to combine. Lightly coat the baking dish with green enchilada sauce, set aside.
Microwave corn tortillas for 1 minute. They will be hot but as they cool, they will be pliable enough to roll and not break. Add a heaping tablespoon of turkey mixture to the center of each tortilla and roll tightly.
After rolling, place seam side down in the prepared dish, then add more enchilada sauce to the tops of the enchiladas.
Air fry at 375°f for 8 minutes, add cheese to tops of the enchiladas, and then cook for 3 minutes longer.
Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
