What's for Dinner? Red Chicken Enchiladas

So I can't really take credit for the amazingly awesome flavor I got from this by rolling together a bunch of different packaged type stuff, but I figured I'd share anyway, because what better way to give ideas than make them easy?

What you need:

  • 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 24 - small taco size tortillas (you can use either corn or flour; I prefer flour)
  • 2 - 16oz jars red enchilada sauce 
  • 1 can or pouch of black beans
  • Spanish Rice (however much you want as filler...and I use the Lipton pouches)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Taco seasoning
  • Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • Sour Cream for serving
1. Sprinkle taco seasoning on both sides of chicken breast, bake in 425 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes (until cooked through)
2. While chicken is baking, mix together rice, heated black beans, onion, and 1/2 c shredded cheese in bowl
3. Shred or chop chicken (however you prefer it) and add to mixture; stir.
4. Warm enchilada sauce in large bowl
5. Dip tortillas into sauce, covering both sides
6. Lay tortilla in large rectangle or square casserole baking dish
7. Fill tortilla with mixture; roll
8. Repeat until pan is filled
9. Pour a little of the remaining sauce over enchiladas
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes
11. Remove from oven, sprinkle desired amount of cheese over top
12. Bake an additional 5 minutes
13. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top and ENJOY!

    Does this mean you're going to start charging me, cause I've been being good lately? ;)
