Рецепт Chicken Black Bean Enchiladas
Welcome to Creations by Kara! I hope you'll c
First up, thanks for all your nice (and sometimes funny) comments about my whirlwind of a day. I'm so glad I'm not the only one trying to juggle just a little too much. It is so nice to be understood. You guys make me smile. *Hugs*
We love Mexican food at our house. My husband and I love chicken enchiladas. My kids, not so much. I've tried many times over the years to come up with a recipe that they all enjoy. I've had no luck.
Until now that is!! I came up with this recipe last week and it was a huge hit! Not only did they ask for seconds, but my husband and I thought these were the best chicken enchiladas we had ever had. Anywhere. So much better than the cream of chicken soup variety I've tried tweaking a dozen times. If you like Mexican like we do, you have got to give these a try!
Black Bean Chicken Enchiladas
Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Half of a 4oz can of diced green chilies
- Filling:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 2 breasts)
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Monteray Jack cheese (or other type)
- Half of a 4oz can of diced green chilies
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- About 1/2 cup of the sauce
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
For sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in flour, then milk and chicken broth. Add garlic, cumin, and half the can of green chilies. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and boil for at least one minute. Set aside.
For filling: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, adding enough of the sauce to make it all stick together.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13" pan. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of filling, and place seam side down on top of the sauce. Pour remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 375° for about 25 minutes, or till hot and bubbly.
Notes:
-You can substitute your favorite kind of cheese.
-I like the crunchy cheese on the top, so I bake mine on the top rack of my oven.
