How Do I Make Chicken and Bean Enchiladas?

Here is how you make Chicken and Bean Enchiladas:

Chop chicken into chunks. Put in a food processor and pulse until coarsely shredded. Pour into a large bowl. In the food processor, combine beans, chilies, seasonings, and 1/2 cup cheese until smooth. Pour over chicken in bowl. Stir until throughly combined.Pour 1/2 can of enchilada sauce in each of 2, 7x9 inch baking dishes. Steam tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave for 30 seconds, covered with a wet paper towel. As each batch of tortillas comes out of the microwave, spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture in the middle of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in baking dish, seam side down. Spoon a little of the sauce over the stuffed tortilla to maintain moisture. (This will help keep the tortilla from cracking.) Each baking dish will hold approximately 8 tortillas.Once all tortillas have been stuffed. Cover each batch with the remaining can of sauce (1/2 for each baking dish). Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top (1/2 C for each dish of enchiladas).Bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.Optional toppings: green onions, light sour cream, olives, shredded lettuce, jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, etc. (not included in calorie count).Serve with brown or Mexican rice for a meal.Serving size = 1 enchiladaNumber of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WEIGH2BIG1.
