Skinny Chipotle Black Bean & Turkey Enchiladas

There are just certain recipes that I find that I know that I will love.  This was one of those recipes.  I love turkey meat and black beans.  The spices and flavor in these were awesome. I love not having to compromise on taste while eating a low calorie meal.  278 calories to be exact.  And these are just what I needed to get back on track from my Sweethearts Buddies binge.  Dang those delicious creations!

Review:  This recipe has a little bit of a kick to it because of the chipotle peppers but the flavor is awesome.  These were alot easier to put together than I thought and using turkey meat made a great change to your regular enchilada.  I will be making these a lot before my cruise because they were healthy and delicious!
