Chicken Enchiladas with Black Beans

Ingredients:
  • 1 (2 ½ lbs) Bag of Frozen, boneless, skinless Chicken (thaw, place on foiled pan w/edge and bake 20 minutes at 450.
  • 2 Green Onions, diced – including stems
  • Small Can black Olives (diced)
  • 1 and 2/3 cups black beans (or 1 Can Black Beans drained and rinsed)
  • 1 Can Corn (drained)
  • Grated Mild Cheddar Cheese
  • Grated Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 2 Cans Tomato Sauce (16 oz)
  • 2-4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 4 heaping tsp. Chili Powder
  • Oil for frying tortillas
  • About a dozen Corn Tortillas

Directions:
  1. Cube or shred cooked chicken and add the green onion, black olives, black b eans, and corn.
  2. In a pot on the stove, add about 2 Tbsp. oil and garlic. Fry until it starts to turn golden brown.
  3. Add Tomato Sauce and Chili Powder to the garlic mixture. Stir and keep on low while you fry the tortillas.
  4. Heat oil in skillet between medium and med-high. Once hot, fry tortillas and place on paper towels and dab dry.  Salting them is optional.
  5. Dip each cooked tortilla in tomato sauce mixture scraping the sauce onto the side of the pan on both sides and place in a 9x13 dish.
  6. Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and roll. (I like to add a small amount of sauce and cheese before I roll the enchilada to give it moisture.)
  7. Once they are all rolled, spoon additional sauce over each enchilada and top with cheese mixture.
  8. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.  You can garnish each enchilada with a slice of olive.


Delicious!!
