BLACK BEAN & CORN ENCHILADAS (WITH OR WITHOUT CHICKEN)



Black Bean & Corn Enchiladas (With or Without Chicken) image

These are great and so easy!!!! The original recipe does not call for chicken, but sometimes i do add it for my husband. You can use corn tortillas or flour, I use flour because that way they dont split. One pan I use red sauce for hubby and second pan I do green sauce for me. Iam not exactly sure how many these make because when you add chicken it makes more then usual. UPDATE: 2-09: I APOLIGIZE FOR THE SAUCE AMOUNT. IT IS THE LARGER CAN YOU NEED NOT THE 10 OZ SIZE. I USE THAT SIZE USUALLY BECAUSE I USE ONE GREEN AND ONE RED(GREEN FOR ME RED FOR HUBBY) I WILL CHANGE THE SIZE NOW!

CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS



Chicken & Black Bean Enchiladas image

This is a recipe I've been perfecting for a while and I think I've reached nirvana. I crave these at least once a week and even though the instructions appear lengthy, it really is a simple dish to prepare and well worth the effort. Hubby has told me that if I ever open a restuarant that these should be on the menu, as they are far better than any enchiladas we've ever had dining out. And for those of you who claim to not like cilantro, please give this a try. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't know it had cilantro in it. The taste is just a hint of freshness when combined with everything else. Cooking the chicken in it's own little soup bath really gives it a nice subtle flavor too. I suppose if you were pressed for time, you could use a rotisserie chicken. I've also used other cheeses than monterey jack, but find that the jack is the best flavor combination. I have to admit, that most of the measurements are my best guess - feel free to use a little more or little less of any of the enchilada fillings, but I think what I've listed is pretty close to what I do. Also, if you prefer your sauce with a little heat to it, you could add in a little cayenne, but don't do to much and cover up all the other lovely flavors. I serve these with beans and rice on the side, and a little dollop of sour cream on the top. I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of this dish and hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS IN SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas in Sour Cream Sauce image

It was a cold and snowy day, and I was hungry for enchiladas. I didn't have the ingredients for my usual recipe, I didn't want to run to the store, so I just made this one up with what I had on hand.

Provided by Moki5786

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 enchiladas, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 chicken breast, cooked
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 (36 count) package corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
cumin, to taste
dried chipotle powder, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt butter in a stock pot.
  • Add diced vegetables and saute until tender.
  • Sprinkle flour over the butter/veggie mix and whisk together, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add spices to taste, and cook for another minute or so.
  • Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • When the sauce is thickened, remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the sour cream.
  • Taste the sauce and readjust your seasonings, if you need to. (I find that I often need to add more salt after I add the sour cream.).
  • Soften tortillas in your usual way. (I fry them in a bit of oil in my cast iron skillet.)
  • While the sauce is cooking, use a food processor and chop the chicken finely.
  • Mix chicken, beans, and 1 cup of cheese in a bowl.
  • Roll the filling in the softened tortillas and place them in a lightly greased pan. (You will probably have tortillas left over. My kids like them spread with a little butter and folded in quarters for snacks.).
  • Pour the sauce over top, sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly and a little browned on the top.

WHITE BEAN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



White Bean Chicken Enchiladas image

We have Mexican night at least once a week, and this is the perfect meal for it, sure to satisfy any craving! The white bean mash serves as a replacement for the oh so boring refried beans. You'll notice it gives a great zesty dimension to the dish. I recommend serving with sides of salsa and sour cream and a nice helping of yellow rice. Mmmmmm!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 10-16 enchiladas, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 -5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper

  • Roll up the tortilla and place seam side down in the casserole dish. Repeat using as many tortillas as it takes to fill the entire dish.
  • With leftover bean paste, spread in cracks and crevices of enchiladas, like mortar on bricks.
  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of the entire dish.
  • Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes or until hot. Use broiler if necessary to melt cheese completely.

SATURDAY NIGHT CHICKEN, CHEESE AND REFRIED BEAN ENCHILADAS



Saturday Night Chicken, Cheese and Refried Bean Enchiladas image

Lots of fun to make and especially eat! I am a vegetarian, so I have substituted vegetarian "chicken" in this recipe and it was fabulous, but if you are a meat-eater you can use the same amount of real chicken instead with the same delicious outcome. I also used a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses because Mexican cheeses aren't available to me here in England but if you would prefer monterey jack or other Mexican cheeses go right ahead and use them instead. These were soooooooo good. Enjoy!

SHREDDED CHICKEN AND MAYOCOBA BEAN ENCHILADAS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Shredded Chicken and Mayocoba Bean Enchiladas Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 27

For the Beans:
1 package (16 oz.) dry Mayocoba beans (also known as Peruvian beans or Canary beans)
8 cups water
1 garlic clove, grated
2 tsp. salt
For the Chicken:
5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 medium onions, preferably white or yellow
1 green bell pepper
2 tbsp. minced green chili of your choice (like jalapeno or pasilla)
6 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. cumin
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
For the enchilada sauce:
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. flour
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup shredded monterrey jack cheese
For the assembly:
8 flour tortillas
cooking spray or melted butter
1 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro to garnish.

Steps:

  • For the Beans: The first thing to do, is wash the beans to remove any twigs or debris. Next transfer the beans to a pressure cooker with the water and salt. Close the lid and turn up the heat to high. Once the steam begins to come out of the pressure cooker, lower the heat to medium. Let the beans cook for 30 minutes before turning off the heat. I hate waiting for the pressure to release, so what I do is run cold water over the pressure cooker in the sink. Remove the lid and check to make sure the beans are tender. If not put the lid back on and cook for another 5-10 minutes, but they should be done within 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a food processor bowl. Add about 3 tbsp. of the bean water from the pot, a little salt and grate the garlic clove into the bowl. Blend the beans until you have a smooth consistency. Set aside until you're ready to assemble the enchiladas. To make this dish a little easier, you could just mash the beans with a potato masher, but that will yield a more chunky consistency. If you don't have a food processor, you could soak the beans overnight and then just boil them in a pot with the same amount of water for about one hour. For the Chicken: First boil the chicken breasts in a large pot of water.seasoned liberally with salt. Once the chicken breasts are cooked through, transfer them to a cutting board and allow them to cool. While the chicken is cooking, begin mincing your green pepper, garlic and green chilies. Dice the onion finely and add the olive oil into a large non-stick skillet. Turn the heat up to medium high and add in the chilies, onions and garlic to the pan. Saute for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the veggies cook, take two forks and begin shredding the chicken breasts. Transfer the chicken to the skillet and season with the cumin, salt and pepper. Allow the chicken and veggies to cook together for about 3-4 minutes before turning off the heat. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and cheese and add it into the skillet, making sure to combine everything really well. For the enchilada sauce: First add the butter to a non-stick sauce pan. Next add in the flour and make a roux. To that, add the chicken stock and whisk vigorously, breaking any clumps of flour that may have formed. Next add in the sour cream and the cheese and blend well. Season with a little salt. Set the sauce aside until assembling the enchiladas. For the assembly: First pre-heat the oven to 400ºF. Next, take a scoop of the beans and spread if evenly over one side of the tortilla. Next add in a scoop of the chicken mixture and roll the tortillas. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with a little cooking spray and place the enchiladas, seam down in the pan. Repeat this step until you have filled the entire pan with the enchiladas. Spray the tops of the enchiladas with cooking spray, or brush with melted butter. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the tortillas are slightly crisp. Next, remove the tray from the oven and pour the sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and place the pan back in the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Garnish with some freshly chopped cilantro and serve.
