Green Enchiladas with Chicken

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious dish:

  • 1 pound cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 8-10 corn tortillas
  • 1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup diced green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

Alright, let’s bring this dish to life!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add in your shredded chicken, black beans, diced green onions, 1 cup of enchilada sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir everything around until it’s heated through.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining enchilada sauce and sour cream. This yummy combo will give your dish an extra kick!
  4. Now, grab your tortillas. Warm them up a bit to make them pliable — you could use a microwave or heat them in a dry skillet.
  5. Spread a couple of spoonfuls of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle some cheese on top, then roll them up nice and tight.
  6. Place your rolled tortillas seam side down in a greased baking dish. Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the sour cream mixture over the top and finish with the remaining cheese.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or more green onions if you’re feeling fancy!

There you have it, folks! A delightful dish that’s bursting with flavor and sure to fill your belly with happiness. Enjoy your Green Enchiladas with Chicken, and watch how this crowd-pleaser steals the show at your next gathering!
