How to Make Layered Chicken And Black Bean Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups cooked chicken, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), and 1-2 tablespoons of diced green chiles (adjust to your spice preference).
  4. Mix well to combine.
  5. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Layer 4 corn tortillas over the sauce.
  7. Spread half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a Mexican blend).
  8. Spoon half of the remaining enchilada sauce (approximately 1/2 cup) and half of 1 cup sour cream over the cheese in a random pattern.
  9. Repeat layers with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, cheese, enchilada sauce, and sour cream.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup cheese over the top.
  13. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
