Here is how you make Poor man's enchiladas:

Heat .5 c water in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken breast. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer on first side 5 minutes. Flip chicken and simmer another 5 minutes (covered). Shred chicken with fork. Add remaining water, seasonings, and pinto beans (drained). Return cover to pan and simmer about 10 minutes. Mash up beans with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency. Stir in rice. Raise heat to high until mixture achieves a rolling boil- let boil for 3 minutes while stirring. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 20 minutes (check occasionally to see if rice needs more water to soften- add more slowly if needed). Remove from heat, stir, and allow moisture to be absorbed by rice. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Spoon mixture into totrillas and roll enchiladas up. Place in a cake pan that has been sprayed with fat free cooking spray, seam down. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas, and top with cheese. Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes, until cheese melts and gets bubbly.Toss romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and lime juice together to make a salad. Add fresh black pepper to taste.If you can afford the calories (and avocado!), home made baked chips and guacamole (or pico de gallo if you can't afford the avocado/ calories) are also nice sides to this dinner!Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JAMIEMONSTER.
