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.

The Just A Pinch Test Kitchen

These Enchiladas Rojas are made with corn tortillas dipped in a flavorful red chile sauce, lightly fried, and filled with chicken. They’re topped with potatoes, carrots, queso fresco, and crema for a traditional Mexican meal.

Enchiladas Rojas

corn tortillas

½ lb chicken thighs (or drumsticks)

garlic (skin on)

bay leaves

thyme

salt (as needed)

guajillo chiles (seeds and stems removed)

pasilla chiles (seeds and stems removed)

garlic (peeled)

salt (to taste)

potatoes (about 1 lb/450 gr)

carrots (about ½ lb / 225 gr)

Queso fresco (or other cheese you prefer)

Mexican crema (or sour cream)

iceberg lettuce (chopped)

Cook chicken with water, garlic, onion, bay leaves, oregano, thyme, and salt until tender.

Strain the broth and reserve 1 cup for the sauce. Let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it and set aside.

Cook the chicken

Soak the dried chiles in hot water for 10 minutes, or until softened.

Blend the chiles with garlic, peppercorns, oregano, salt, and chicken broth until smooth.

Strain the sauce and set aside.

Make the red chile sauce

Peel and cut the potatoes and carrots into small cubes.

Boil them in salted water until slightly tender, then drain.

Cook the vegetables in a pan with oil until fully tender. Add a spoonful of the red chile sauce, mix well, and keep warm.

Prepare the potato and carrot topping

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Dip a tortilla into the red chile sauce, coating both sides.

Lightly fry the tortilla for a few seconds on each side. Do not overcook, or it will become crispy and difficult to fold.

Fill with shredded chicken, then fold or roll the tortilla.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken.

Top with potatoes and carrots, diced onion, queso fresco, and Mexican crema. Serve immediately.

Assemble the enchiladas

Que bueno! So tasty &amp; rich, we enjoyed Mexican Enchiladas Rojas with Mex. Rice &amp; your salsa. No crema, I used Cotija Cheese and am thinking of using any turkey leftover-Mex. Turkey Enchiladas Rojas instead of the usual turkey sandwiches. We absolutely loved these enchiladas. Thank so much for sharing, this is a keeper. Appreciated the clear instructions and suggestions.

Love enchiladas rojas, my favorite all the time and this is exactly how are made in Mexico, authentic and delicious.

Thank you for the recipe, enchiladas rojas con pollo are my favorite, especially if they are made in the authentic way.

¡Las enchiladas de Aguascalientes son las mejores! Muchas gracias por la receta.

These enchiladas suizas rojas are made with tender corn tortilla filled with succulent, shredded chicken and topped with gooey melted cheese. The first bite releases a burst of savory goodness, as the flavors mingle and dance on your palate.

Enchiladas Suizas Rojas

melty cheese (Oaxaca, Chihuahua, mozzarella, etc)

oil needed)

lb tomatoes

guajillo pepper (optional, sub

chicken bouillon

butter

salt & pepper (to taste)

Place tomatoes and guajillo chile in a pot, cover with water, and cook until tomates are nicely soft. Allow to cool down then remove the skin and stem of tomatoes.

Place cooked tomatoes, guajillo chile, onion, garlic, and chicken bouillon in a blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend until smooth.

Melt butter in a pan, pour the tomato sauce, and cook until it thickens a little bit (about 3 minutes).

Add cream, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon.

Turn off the heat and then add half of the creamy tomato sauce to a baking dish.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°).

Heat about ¼ cup of oil in a frying pan and lightly fry the tortillas on both sides to make them soft and pliable.

Place tortillas on a plate lined with kitchen paper towels to get rid of excess oil.
