Easy Chicken Enchiladas

olive oil

½ of a small onion, diced

garlic,

chicken

cheddar cheese, divided

Monterey Jack cheese, divided

(15 ounce) can black beans,

(11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn

cumin

chili powder

Kosher salt and pepper,

(8-inch) flour tortillas

Optional toppings: sliced green onions; chopped fresh cilantro; chopped red onion; diced avocado

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Spread about ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan; set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Remove from heat. Stir in chicken, ¾ cup of the enchilada sauce, ½ cup of the cheddar, ½ cup of the Monterey Jack, beans, corn, cumin and chili powder. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Place chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes (or until the enchiladas are heated through and the edges of the tortillas are a bit crispy). Garnish with desired toppings and serve warm.

The best Chicken Enchiladas - delicious and easy to put together! These can be made with my favorite homemade enchilada sauce and homemade corn tortillas if you choose. 

Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas

shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, divided

tsp table salt

tsp black pepper

corn tortillas (or store bought)

preheat

combine

Combine chicken, 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, 1 cup of cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix to combine.

fill

Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken mixture. (If you are not using homemade tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, flip and heat for another 30 seconds to make them pliable.)

roll

Roll the tortillas tightly closed and place them in a row in a 9 x 13 baking dish, making sure to put the seam of the tortilla on the bottom of the baking dish so the tortillas do not unfold.

pour

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top off with the rest of the cheese.

bake

Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

serve

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
