Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups liquid (either chicken broth or water OR 1 can enchilada sauce OR 1 package taco seasoning with 2 c water)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 12 small onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, diced (optional)
  • 12 bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 1 cup cheese (optional)
  • 12 cup olive, chopped (optional)

Method

  • cook turkey meat half way.
  • drain.put into large baking dish.
  • in meat pan, sauce onions, garlic, jalapeno, bell pepper until slightly browned.
  • add to meat.
  • in baking dish, add beans, rice, cumin.
  • add enchilada sauce.
  • If you are using taco seasoning or chicken broth for the liquid, it is important to have a 2:1 ratio of liquid to rice.
  • DO NOT USE enchilada sauce AND full 2 cups water.
  • If you only have 1/2 c enchilada sauce, make up the difference with water- that works fine too.
  • cover with foil.
  • bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
  • last 5 minutes, add cheese and olives to top, uncover and put back in the oven.
