Healthy Chicken Enchiladas
Enchiladas are the perfect way to both keep your family healthy and sneak in some extra healthy with nutritious vegetables kids can't taste in all that semi-spicy enchilada goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 4.5 ounces can green chilies
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 15 ounces can black beans drained and rinsed
- 7 large tortillas your choice of flour or whole wheat
- 1 batch homemade red enchilada sauce or store-bought equivalent
- 2-3 cups shredded cheese regular or dairy-free
- Optional toppings: cilantro red onion, sour cream (regular or dairy-free)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F to get things started.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken and green chilies to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and warm through.
- Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture and a spoonful of black beans, roll them up tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all tortillas are filled and placed, evenly pour the enchilada sauce over them and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
- Let the enchiladas cool slightly before serving with your choice of toppings.
