Description

Delicious Chicken Enchiladas filled with rotisserie chicken, black beans, and topped with enchilada sauce and melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add diced onions (if using). Cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Combine shredded chicken, black beans, half of the cheese, and half of the enchilada sauce in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

  6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot.

Notes

You can assemble the enchiladas up to a day in advance and bake before serving. For a crispy finish, consider using an air fryer.
