How to Make Deli Chicken Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro and place in a medium bowl.
  4. Finely chop 1 cup of tomatoes.
  5. Set tomatoes aside.
  6. Remove 2 cups of cooked chicken from bones and chop coarsely. Add to the cilantro.
  7. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of your favorite beans (drained and rinsed).
  8. Add 1 (10-ounce) can of enchilada sauce to the chicken mixture; stir to combine.
  9. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each of 8-10 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas.
  10. Roll tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  11. Pour the remaining 1 (10-ounce) can of enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  12. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
  13. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of sliced black olives and the chopped tomatoes over the cheese.
  14. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  15. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  16. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
