Instructions:

  1. Brown the ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet; cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the drained black beans and ½ cup of stock. Bring to a gentle simmer, cook until most of the liquid has evaporated (5–7 minutes). Season well with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until slightly thickened.
  6. Whisk in the tomato paste, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne (if using). Season with salt. Remove from heat.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour about ½ cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread around. Briefly warm the tortillas (microwave wrapped in a damp towel or flash-fry) to make them pliable.
  8. Assemble Enchiladas: Briefly dip each warm tortilla into the remaining sauce to coat both sides. Lay flat, place a spoonful of filling down the centre, and sprinkle lightly with 2 cups of the shredded cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the top with the reserved ½ cup of cheese.
  10. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
