Cheesy Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas

olive oil

onion

garlic,

chicken

black beans,

green chiles

taco seasoning (see recipe below)

whole wheat tortillas

Monterey Jack and or Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9&#215;9 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 2 minutes. Add chicken and saute 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Add taco seasonings to the meat mixture.

Stir in black beans, green chiles, and salsa and simmer 5 minutes, until sauce thickens and reduces.

Put half of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9&#215;9 casserole dish. Arrange 4-6 tortillas on a flat surface. Top each tortilla with an equal amount of chicken/bean mixture and 1-2 tablespoons cheese. Roll up tortillas and place side by side in a shallow baking dish. Add remaining enchilada sauce to the top. Then, top tortillas with remaining shredded cheese.

Bake enchiladas 15 minutes, until cheese is golden.

Amazing!  I made a triple batch the first time I made this and I forgot a few steps, but still turned out great.  I forgot to add salsa and cheese to the inside of tortilla mixture...so I just added to the top of rolled tortillas.  Planning to make this again, only using the crock pot next time.  Shredding chicken is so easy, just stir with wooden spoon inside crock pot.  
I tripled the batch so I could eat one now and freeze 2 batches later.  We ended up making 18 rolled enchiladas.

Easy Chicken Enchilada Recipe

c Colby jack cheese (shredded)

Las Palmas green chile enchilada sauce

sour cream

6-8 corn tortillas

4.5 oz can chopped green chiles

salt and pepper

In a small bowl, combine chicken, 1 cup cheese, green chiles, salt and pepper.

In a small skillet, bring enchilada sauce to boil. Remove from heat.

Dip each tortilla into heated sauce for a few seconds to soften.

Spoon ⅓ cup of chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons sour cream down center for each tortilla (I usually put the sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut the bottom tip which makes it easier to squirt right down the center)

Roll the tortilla and place seam-side down in 8x8 (or 9x9) inch baking dish.

Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour remaining heated enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese.

Bake 20 minutes at 350.
