There are just certain recipes that I find that I know that I will love. This was one of those recipes. I love turkey meat and black beans. The spices and flavor in these were awesome. I love not having to compromise on taste while eating a low calorie meal. 264 calories to be exact. And these are just what I needed to get back on track from my Sweethearts Buddies binge. Dang those delicious creations!

Review: Â This recipe has a little bit of a kick to it because of the chipotle peppers but the flavor is awesome. These were a lot easier to put together than I thought and using turkey meat made a great change to your regular enchilada. I will be making these a lot before my cruise because they were healthy and delicious!

Hi, I’m trying this recipe out tonight and noticed that diced tomatoes and cumin were not listed in the ingredients for the meat mixture. Just thought you’d like to know.
I love all the sweet treats yo create…but I need to balance out that sugar – and this looks amazing. My kiddos will love it and I hope to make it very soon!
