Blue Ribbon Recipe

These chicken black bean enchiladas are great a comforting weeknight meal. Using a rotisserie chicken, means it can be thrown together quickly. The chicken filling is stuffed with shredded chicken, black beans, green chiles, queso fresco and Colby Jack cheese. If you want a bit more seasoning, add some cumin and chili powder. Once baked in the enchilada sauce, it's a filling dish.
