Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of shredded cooked chicken
8 flour or corn tortillas
2 cups of enchilada sauce
2 cups of shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
1 can (15 oz) of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of cumin
Salt to taste
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, cumin, and salt, allowing it to warm through and the flavors to blend.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture down the center. Top it with a sprinkle of cheese and carefully roll it up, placing it seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Reserve a small amount of cheese to sprinkle on the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Afterward, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
