Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Medium Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas cut into bite-size strips, 6-8 inches each
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken a rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 10 ounces canned Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes and green chilies) undrained
  • 10 ounces enchilada sauce
  • 15 ounces canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided

Instructions

  • Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and place on stove over medium high heat.
  • Add tortillas, chicken, onion, and garlic to skillet and cook for about 5 minutes (or until onion is tender and translucent), stirring frequently.
  • In a medium bowl, mix Rotel, enchilada sauce, black beans, cumin, and garlic powder. Pour mixture over chicken in skillet and mix well.
  • Sprinkle half of the cheese on top, cover with lid, and let cook for 5 minutes- stirring occasionally. Top with remaining cheese and serve, topped with your favorite enchilada toppings (cilantro, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc).

Notes

  • You could sub out the black beans for pinto beans.
  • If you can't find Rotel tomatoes, a can of diced tomatoes would work great as well. I would recommend adding a small can (4 ounces) of diced green chilies, but it's completely up to you.
