Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas in Sour Cream Sauce image

It was a cold and snowy day, and I was hungry for enchiladas. I didn't have the ingredients for my usual recipe, I didn't want to run to the store, so I just made this one up with what I had on hand.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 enchiladas, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 chicken breast, cooked
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 (36 count) package corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
cumin, to taste
dried chipotle powder, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

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.

CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS



Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas image

This is a recipe I've been perfecting for a while and I think I've reached nirvana. I crave these at least once a week and even though the instructions appear lengthy, it really is a simple dish to prepare and well worth the effort. Hubby has told me that if I ever open a restuarant that these should be on the menu, as they are far better than any enchiladas we've ever had dining out. And for those of you who claim to not like cilantro, please give this a try. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't know it had cilantro in it. The taste is just a hint of freshness when combined with everything else. Cooking the chicken in it's own little soup bath really gives it a nice subtle flavor too. I suppose if you were pressed for time, you could use a rotisserie chicken. I've also used other cheeses than monterey jack, but find that the jack is the best flavor combination. I have to admit, that most of the measurements are my best guess - feel free to use a little more or little less of any of the enchilada fillings, but I think what I've listed is pretty close to what I do. Also, if you prefer your sauce with a little heat to it, you could add in a little cayenne, but don't do to much and cover up all the other lovely flavors. I serve these with beans and rice on the side, and a little dollop of sour cream on the top. I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of this dish and hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
