Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 8 ounce can diced green chilis
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I used leftovers from this recipe)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
• 12 fajita sized flour tortillas
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Queso Oaxaca cheese (or Colby Jack)
• 1 cup shredded white cheddar
• chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion to the skillet and sauce until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the green chilis, chicken, chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne. Stir to combine thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Coat the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish with 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce. Spoon another 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in a shallow bowl. Dip a tortilla in the bowl to coat with enchilada sauce. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon black beans and sprinkle with Queso Oaxaca. Roll up the tortilla and place in the baking dish seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes, uncovered. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
• Serve immediately with sour cream, avocado and jalapeños if desired.
