Healthified Mexican:)

It has been a while since I posted some of our healthy eating recipes, so it is time to get back to it.  Over the weekend I made some healthy enchiladas, black bean salsa, and brown rice... which are the perfect substitute to some of the fatty and salty Mexican food that we love!

Healthy Turkey Enchiladas
Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey breast
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • corn tortillas
  • 1 can of red enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
Directions
  • Prehead oven to 375 degrees. 
  • Brown the ground turkeyOptional- add onions to beef while in the pan.
  • Fill the corn tortillas with ground turkey and chopped onions, roll, place in casserole dish, pour enchilada sauce on top.
  • Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese. 
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.  
I served our enchiladas with a side of brown rice.  To make the rice a little a little more interesting I added 1/2 cup of almond milk...good idea!

I also made a side of black bean salsa which consisted of:
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup of yellow corn
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
Definitely something that I can handle making again!
