Description

This recipe has just the right amount of spicy and creamy. It’s heaven on a fork.

Ingredients

  • 5 whole Chicken Breasts
  • 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil, Or More As Needed
  • 16 whole Flour Tortillas (medium) Or 20 Small Corn Tortillas
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
  • 1 can Diced Green Chilies, Drained (4 Oz. Can)
  • 1 can Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained Well (15 Oz. Can)
  • 1 can Medium Green Enchilada Sauce, Divided (28. Oz. Can)
  • 5 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese, Divided
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • Desired Toppings: Cilantro, Diced Tomatoes, Sour Cream, Etc.

Preparation

In a large pot, bring chicken breasts to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thoroughly cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove from water and set aside to cool.

In a small skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. If using corn tortillas, fry lightly in oil for 10-15 seconds per side. Place on paper towels and set aside. (FYI: You may need more oil than the amount listed.)

Saute diced onion in oil and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Pour onions into a large bowl. Shred cooked chicken and add to the bowl. Stir in green chilies, black beans, half the green enchilada sauce, 3 cups of grated cheese, and salt and pepper.

Spoon 1/4-1/3 cup of chicken mixture onto a tortilla and roll. Place enchilada into a lightly greased casserole or glass dish. Repeat filling and rolling until no more ingredients remain.

Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of grated cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with chopped cilantro or any other desired toppings.
