First of all, happy Sunday, my dear friends! I imagine you taking a long Sunday morning break with your feet propped up on the couch, remote in one hand, and your laptop in the other. Am I right?!
Oh Oh! I also see some of you reading the newspaper! Can it really BE? Like, real paper?? Get out. I don’t believe it… ?
And is anyone heading out to Church, or place of worship?? It’s what I SHOULD be doing… hopefully I’ll make it there a bit later today.
Second of all, my mouth is in love. Staring at these photos, remembering these awesome turkey black bean enchiladas… they’ve got a zing of tangy enchilada sauce deliciousness, and they are 1000% addicting.
Then again, I am definitely the one that can live on anything-enchiladas;
They are all so darn very good, and I have a 4-year old that agrees 100%. ?
I have to say, after having these two little kids, persuasion towards food is a skill I’ve pretty much mastered. #truth
AND if they really really reallllyyyy love something I’ve made? Like, mucho love?? That something ends up on this bloggy of mine almost 99% of the time.
Example: Ground Turkey Black Bean Enchiladas
After the initial shade thrown at the black beans – Mom, they look like bugs!! MOM! Don’t make us eat it! MOM! ewwwww, yuuuuck, grozzzzzzz!! – I made them try it and I made them love it!
Okay. LOVE is a pretty strong word, but for first timers, they did a-ok.
To make these lovelies, you’re going to need some ground turkey (obvi), black beans (also obvi), enchilada sauce (canned is cool!), low carb flour tortillas (yeah, no corn tortillas…), cheese, some spices, and 45 minutes. We cool?
Bust out your favorite skillet and baking dish – these ground turkey black bean enchiladas are about to be yo’ din din!
