SNAP CHALLENGE: CREAMY CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Mince the garlic and sauté it in a large skillet with cooking oil over medium heat for one to two minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles and let simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the tomato liquid has reduced by about half and become slightly thick.
• Cut the cream cheese into chunks and stir it into the tomato mixture. The sauce will become smooth and creamy as the cheese melts in.
• Rinse and drain the can of black beans, then add them to the skillet along with the frozen corn kernels, shredded chicken, and cumin. Stir to combine. Taste the filling and add salt if needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Scoop about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the creamy chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll it up like a cigar. Place the filled and rolled tortillas into a 9x13 inch casserole dish, seam side down.
• While the oven is preheating, make a batch of homemade red enchilada sauce (or use canned), then pour it over the enchiladas in the casserole dish (you may or may not use all the sauce, it's up to you). Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are slightly brown and crispy.

CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Using a little more than a 1/4 cup, coat the bottom of the skillet with your red enchilada sauce and set aside.
• Make the enchiladas: Using a shallow dish (or pie plate), pour a 1/2 cup of the red enchilada sauce into the pie plate or shallow dish. Take a tortilla and lay it flat into the dish so that the red enchilada sauce coats the bottom. If you'd like, flip the tortilla so that both sides get coated in the sauce; please note if you do this the tortilla will be very wet and soft after it's baked. I think just coating the bottom is enough. Lay in some chicken and some beans and roll up and place into your skillet (or oven safe baking dish). Repeat until all of the tortillas are filled and rolled up and the skillet is full.
• Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce (maybe a 1/4 cup) over the enchiladas*. Scatter the diced green chiles over the enchiladas and then add the shredded cheese all over the top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated though and the until cheese is bubbling and melted. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions and serve with some salsa. Enjoy!

EASY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spray an oven-safe 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Note: you will be able to fill a 9x13 with 8 enchiladas + have some leftover filling to use as a salad topper or for taco bowls! You could also use two 9x9 pans to make 10 enchiladas total.
• Add chopped onion to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. When finished, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
• Season chicken breasts with 1/4 tsp each of: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet you used to cook the onion over medium-high heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (Internal temperature of chicken should be 165 degrees F.) You can also prep the chicken in advance using a slow cooker if you'd like.
• When finished cooking, use a fork and knife to shred the chicken.
• To the large bowl with the cooked onion, add the rest of the filling: shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes & green chiles, and 1 cup of the shredded Mexican cheese. Use a spoon to mix everything well.
• Pour 1 cup of salsa on the bottom of the 9x13 pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
• Scoop about 1/2 cup of the chicken/veggie mixture into each whole wheat tortilla. Roll them tightly and place them seam side down in the pan. You should be able to fit about 8 enchiladas in the 9x13 pan.
• When they are all rolled up, add 3/4 cup of salsa on top of your 9x13 pan of enchiladas and use your spatula to spread it out evenly.
• Top all of the enchiladas with roughly 3/4 cup of shredded cheese.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and place in oven for 25-30 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and serve hot. Add any additional toppings if desired. Serving size is 1-2 enchiladas.

CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS IN SOUR CREAM SAUCE

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.

BLACK BEAN & CORN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Make the enchilada sauce: Combine chili powder, flour, cocoa powder, oregano, cumin and garlic in a small saucepan. While whisking, slowly add water one tablespoon at a time until a fairly thick paste forms. Whisk in stock, bring to boil and then lower hit and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Now whisk in the tomato sauce, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. You can add salt at this point, but if your chili powder has salt (as most do) you might want to skip it or use only a small amount. Remove from heat and set sauce aside for now.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion and bell pepper. Saute for about five minutes, then add the garlic and chipotle peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes longer.
• Stir in the black beans WITH can liquid. Stir well. Now add the drained corn, cumin, oregano and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, while stirring every 10 minutes. You want most of the flavorful can liquid to get absorbed/evaporate.
• Once the beans & corn are done, remove from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro.
• Finally, construct your enchiladas! Spray a 13x9inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread about a third of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of the dish.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup bean & corn mixture in the middle of a tortilla. Roll up; place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat one by one with remaining tortillas.
• Spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas evenly. Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
• Let enchiladas cool for at least 5 minutes before eating. Sprinkle with Cotija cheese just before serving.
