30-MIN ENCHILADA SKILLET 🌶️
30-MIN ENCHILADA SKILLET 🌶️ easy, healthy, high protein, and so delishhh 🤩 made all in the same pan for a quick meal on busy weeknights!
Ingredients:
1 small white onion (200 g) chopped
1 large red bell pepper (170 g) chopped
1 tbsp taco seasoning divided
1 lb 99% lean ground turkey (16 oz)
1 15oz can black beans rinsed and drained
1 10oz can Rotel drained
1 4oz can diced green chiles
2 oz reduced fat cream cheese (56 g)
1/2 cup non fat plain greek yogurt (113 g)
1 batch homemade enchilada sauce or sub a 10oz can (I’m using the @oldelpaso canned today)
5 extra thin corn tortillas
3 oz colby jack cheese (84 g) shredded
cilantro, limes, avocado, lettuce, sour cream optional, for topping
Instructions:
1. Set a large deep skillet on medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add chopped onion, pepper, and 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning. Cook until veggies have softened – about 5 minutes.
2. Add ground turkey to the onion and pepper, along with the other 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning and a pinch of salt to taste. Cook turkey, breaking apart into small pieces, until fully cooked – about another 5 minutes.
3. Add black beans, Rotel, green chiles, cream cheese, greek yogurt, and enchilada sauce, stirring everything together until fully combined. Cut the tortillas into strips and stir in, making sure each piece gets coated in the sauce.
4. Top with shredded cheese and cover with a lid to melt. Add cilantro, limes, any other toppings you love and enjoy!
I’ve tried making enchilada dishes many times, and what I love about this skillet recipe is how convenient it is—everything cooks in one pan, which saves a lot of time on cleanup. Using 99% lean ground turkey is a great way to keep the protein content high while reducing fat, and the addition of black beans and Greek yogurt further boosts the nutritional value. When I prepare this dish, I like to customize the toppings based on what I have at home. Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbal note, while a squeeze of lime juice really elevates the flavors. Avocado or sliced jalapeños can give it a creamy or spicy kick, respectively. I often swap the reduced-fat cream cheese with light sour cream as a personal preference, and it still tastes fantastic. One tip I found helpful is cutting the corn tortillas into thin strips before stirring them in. This allows them to absorb the enchilada sauce perfectly, giving the skillet that classic enchilada taste and texture, without needing to bake it separately. This recipe is highly adaptable—you can replace the ground turkey with chicken or even keep it vegetarian by adding extra beans or veggies like zucchini or corn. On busy weeknights, this skillet becomes a go-to meal for me because it’s not only quick but also comforting and satisfying. Plus, it’s easy to portion out for leftovers, making lunch the next day simple and delicious as well.
