Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
1 cup finely chopped onion 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
2 cups shredded cooked chicken 🍗
15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained 🫘
4-ounce can diced green chiles 🌶️ (do not drain)
1 teaspoon chili powder 🌶️
1 teaspoon ground cumin 🌿
½ teaspoon dried oregano 🌿
½ teaspoon salt 🧂
2 cups enchilada sauce (about 16 ounces) 🥫
12 ounces shredded cheese (about 3 cups) 🧀 (cheddar, Monterey jack, Mexican cheese blend, or a combination)
8 large flour tortillas 🌯
Optional, for serving: fresh cilantro, chopped green or red onion, sour cream, avocado, pico de gallo, etc. 🌿🧅🥑
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥
2️⃣ Make Enchilada Filling:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat. 🍳
Add the cooked chicken, black beans, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and ½ cup of enchilada sauce to the skillet. Stir until well combined. 🍲
3️⃣ Assemble the Enchiladas:
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the dish. 🧽
To assemble each enchilada, take one of the tortillas and put ½ cup of the chicken and bean mixture down the middle of the tortilla, slightly to the side of the center. Top with ⅓ cup of cheese. 🧀
Roll up the tortilla as tightly as you can. Put the enchilada, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, enchilada filling, and cheese. 🌯
Spread the remaining sauce over the tops of the enchiladas. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. 🧀
4️⃣ Bake Enchiladas:
Bake enchiladas for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve, with toppings as desired. 🌟
Enjoy your delicious Chicken Enchiladas! 🌮✨
