CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until the onions are softened and slightly translucent. Add the chicken, green chiles and 1/2 cup of red enchilada sauce, stirring occasionally until the chicken is warmed through and the mixture is well coated in sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Spray a casserole dish with vegetable spray and then spoon 2-3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the casserole and gently spread to cover the bottom.
• Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface and spoon a tablespoon or so of sauce onto it. Spread the sauce evenly over the whole tortilla. Add a small handful of shredded cheese into the center of the tortilla.
• Top with a few spoons of the shredded chicken filling (don't over-stuff). Top with a handful of black beans and carefully fold the two sides of the tortilla over the filling. Transfer the wrapped enchilada to the baking dish, seam side down.
• Continue to assemble the enchiladas and transfer them to the casserole dish. Spread the remaining red enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas and spread so that they are all coated with sauce.
• Garnish with the remainder of the cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and casserole is heated through.
• Serve with your choice of condiments and garnishes.

CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS IN SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in a stock pot.
• Add diced vegetables and saute until tender.
• Sprinkle flour over the butter/veggie mix and whisk together, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add spices to taste, and cook for another minute or so.
• Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• When the sauce is thickened, remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the sour cream.
• Taste the sauce and readjust your seasonings, if you need to. (I find that I often need to add more salt after I add the sour cream.).
• Soften tortillas in your usual way. (I fry them in a bit of oil in my cast iron skillet.)
• While the sauce is cooking, use a food processor and chop the chicken finely.
• Mix chicken, beans, and 1 cup of cheese in a bowl.
• Roll the filling in the softened tortillas and place them in a lightly greased pan. (You will probably have tortillas left over. My kids like them spread with a little butter and folded in quarters for snacks.).
• Pour the sauce over top, sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and a little browned on the top.

• To assemble enchiladas, warm tortillas in the microwave so they are more pliable, approximately one minute.
• Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the roughly chopped cilantro down the center of the tortilla.
• Next, add 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
• Top with 2 Tbls of black beans and a generous 1/3 cup of shredded chicken.
