I got tired of rolling up corn tortillas for my Mom's really great chicken enchiladas. This is really easy to assemble, retaining the great taste of chicken enchiladas!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cooking oil
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups water
2 cups canned diced tomatoes
1 lb cooked and shredded chicken breast
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
12 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese
Directions:
1. Combine the Enchilada sauce ingredients (except water) in a saucepan until well blended. Over medium heat, gradually stir in the 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer 10 minutes and then keep warm while preparing the remainder.
2. Heat oven to 350.
3. Saute the onion in a little cooking oil (I use cooking spray) until tender. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken, minced garlic, black beans and green chilies. Cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, or until heated through. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and spread 1/3 of the enchilada sauce in the bottom. Layer with 1/3 of the tortillas, half the filling mixture, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat layers with 1/3 sauce and 1/3 filling and 1/3 of the cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas, enchilada sauce and the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes until bubbly.
