Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. jar enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 10 8” whole wheat tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 14.5 oz. canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 medium avocado (sliced)
  • ½ cup cilantro (optional for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and spray 9” x 13” baking dish with cooking spray. Add ¼ cup enchilada sauce to the bottom of your dish and spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon.
  • In a large bowl, add shredded chicken, black beans and ¼ cup shredded cheese. Mix well. Stir in 2 Tbsp. enchilada sauce.
  • Assemble enchiladas: Spoon ½ cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Fold one end of the tortilla towards the center, folding the opposite end over to meet it and place seam side down in your baking dish. Continue until all tortillas are filled.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with sliced avocado and optional cilantro and enjoy!

Notes

  • To make ahead, follow the recipe as described but leave off enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and store in fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, remove from the fridge and preheat oven. Add enchilada sauce and cheese and bake until bubbly!
  • Feel like adding more to this simple recipe? Sauté a mix of veggies — bell pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. would all work well — and let them cool. Add to the chicken mixture and follow recipe accordingly.
