Pin this Recipe on Pinterst

Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas are in the top 10 of my favorite dinners for many reasons. It's a delicious dinner that my family loves. It's easy to prepare. And it's a great way to use leftover roast chicken. If you don't' have any cooked chicken on hand, quickly grill some chicken breasts in about 10 minutes.

Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 16 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 cup homemade chicken stock
  • 2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed & drained
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • your favorite shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

1. In a large sauce pan, combine tomato sauce, chili powder, oregano, cumin and 1 1/2 cups chicken stock. Stir well and bring to a boil.

2. Stir together the flour and 1/4 cup of chicken stock until smooth. Add to the tomato mixture, stirring continuously until blended. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

3. In a bowl, combine the chicken, black beans, and green chilies.
