This recipe uses shredded chicken breast but if you need to save time, you can always use pre-cooked chicken instead. It takes about fifteen minutes to prepare and about forty-five minutes to cook but you and your family may be able to wait to try that first incredible bite!

Let's Get Started…

The Ingredients To Gather:

• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 white onion
• 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
• salt and pepper
• 1 can diced green chiles
• 1 can black beans or lentils
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 3 cups Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 batch red enchilada sauce, or 1 can store-bought enchilada sauce
• (optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro)

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your enchilada sauce, if making homemade.
2. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add diced chicken, green chiles, season with salt and pepper. Saute for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Lay out a tortilla, spread two tablespoons of sauce over the surface of the tortilla. Add beans in a line down the middle of the tortilla, then add in a spoonful of the chicken mixture, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese.
4. Roll up tortilla and place in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Then spread the remaining enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas, and sprinkle on the remaining shredded cheese.
5. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
