Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds 93% lean ground turkey, cooked and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can no salt added pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons no-salt added taco seasoning
  • ½ cup (118 milliliters) green enchilada sauce
  • 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) olive oil

  • 8 8-inch whole wheat tortillas

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add cooked turkey, beans, taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Stir to combine. Transfer mixture to a clean plate and set aside. Add olive oil to skillet and crack in eggs. Scramble with rubber spatula until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook rice according to package directions. Place tortillas on a clean work surface or cutting board.
