    chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 8
    flour or corn tortillas (larger size)

    black beans, drained well

    diced tomatoes, with chilis, drained well

    mexican blend shredded cheese (may want more)
  • 1 jar
    taco sauce
  • 1 pkg

How To Make cheesy chicken enchiladas

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Pour taco sauce in bottom of large baking pan.
  • 2
    Shred 2 fully cooked chicken breasts (I cook in crockpot & then shred w/ 2 forks). Or simply shred a rotissiere chicken, if in hurry.
  • 3
    Mix 1 pack taco seasoning w/ 1 cup of water & mix into chicken well.
  • 4
    Prepare tortillas as package directs. I didn't even heat my first or anything, and they were great.
  • 5
    Make sure black beans & tomatoes are vell well drained. Stir & squeeze out excess moisture. Now, make a little assembly line to fill tortillas.
  • 6
    Fill each tortilla w/ seasoned chicken, beans & tomatoes, and cheese. Make a pocket & roll up, making sure it is nice & tight. Place in pan and continue filling & rolling.
  • 7
    Sprinkle with more cheese. Cover very loosely w/ alumninum foil & bake for 30 mins. Remove foil & bake another 10 mins, or until the cheese is melted to your liking.
  • 8
    Top with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce. I served w/ yellow rice and some fresh cilantro. You can always add corn to the filling recipe too.
