1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add one chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

3

Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the turkey is no longer pink.

4

Stir in 1 teaspoon of cumin, and a can of drained black beans. Pour in the enchilada sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

In a baking dish, layer 3 corn tortillas at the bottom. Top with half of the turkey and bean mixture, followed by a cup of cheddar cheese.

6

Repeat the layers with another 3 corn tortillas, the remaining turkey and bean mixture, and another cup of cheese.

7

Top with the last 4 tortillas and the remaining cheese.

8

Cover the dish with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Once done, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
