Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Brown turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Stir in water and taco seasoning mix; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in green chilies. Set aside off heat.
  3. 3 Spread a scant ⅔ cup enchilada sauce evenly over bottom of an 8x10-inch baking dish; top with 4 tortillas, overlapping if necessary. Spread ½ sour cream, ½ refried beans, ½ turkey mixture, and ⅓ cheese onto tortillas. Top with ⅔ cup enchilada sauce and 4 tortillas; firmly press down on tortillas to compact layers.
  4. 4 Repeat layers, spreading remaining ½ sour cream, remaining ½ refried beans, remaining ½ turkey mixture, ⅓ cheese, and ⅔ cup enchilada sauce onto tortillas. Top with remaining 4 tortillas, remaining ⅔ cup enchilada sauce, and remaining ⅓ cheese.
  5. 5 Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and bubbling and casserole is hot, about 20 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir using a wooden spoon until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in chicken stock, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer enchilada sauce until thickened and smooth, about 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. 3 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  4. 4 Heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green chiles, and green bell pepper until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in ground beef and black beans. Stir in 1/2 of the enchilada sauce; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. 5 Spoon beef mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla and roll tortilla around filling. Place tortillas, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Cover tortillas with remaining enchilada sauce and Mexican cheese blend.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
