Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground turkey chicken works, too
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and diced (~1 cup diced)
  • 1/2 medium red onion minced
  • 1/2 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup white northern beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn canned or frozen
  • 1.5 cups enchilada sauce
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or more, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 large avocado sliced (for topping)

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to high broil. Then, brown 1/2 pound of ground turkey in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or oven safe skillet). Drain fat and set meat aside.
  • Next, heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil over medium/high heat in the same cast iron skillet. Add in minced garlic, diced sweet potato, and red onion and sauté for 7-10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are almost cooked all the way through.
  • Add in black beans, white beans, sweet corn, enchilada sauce, and the cooked meat and bring to a slight boil. Take off heat and sprinkle on shredded cheese.
  • Place cast iron skillet in the oven for 1 minute in order to melt the cheese. Remove and top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.
