1 can 15 oz. black beans, drained and rinsed

12 corn tortillas

shredded jack cheese or mexican blend

toppings: sour cream, guacamole, or salsa -optional i didn't use any

heat oil in a large skillet over med. heat. add pepper and saute 4 min. or so. add turkey or beef until no longer pink. drain. stir in cumin, tomatoes,half the enchilada sauce and chilies. bring to a simmer and cook 10 min. to develop flavors. remove from heat and add corn and beans.
