2 lbs. ground turkey, thawed and browned
1 small sweet onion, diced
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen, sweet corn
2 cups salsa
1 tsp. ground cumin
12 raw whole wheat tortillas, heated until golden brown
2 cups shredded colby jack (or your favorite cheese)


preheat oven to 375 degrees.  in a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey.  drain any excess liquid.  combine the onion, tomatoes, black beans, corn, salsa and cumin with the browned ground turkey.

bring to boil.  reduce heat and simmer until onions are translucent and liquid evaporates.  approximately 8-10 minutes.  meanwhile heat tortillas until golden brown.

place a about 1/2 c. turkey mixture down the center of the tortilla.  top with about 2 tbsp. folded cheese.  fold sides and then ends over to cover filling.  place seam face down on lightly greased 13x9x2 baking dish.  bake for 15 minutes.
