Steps:

- Add chicken and beans to pan; cook 3-4 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly heated.
- Stack 6 tortillas and wrap stack in damp paper towels and microwave for 15 seconds. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture in center of each tortilla and roll up. Arrange tortillas, seam sides down, in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Repeat with other 6 tortillas starting with the stacking step.
- Top with reserved sauce and cheese. Broil 3-4 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and sauce is bubbly. Top with tomato and cilantro. Garnish with sour cream if desired.
HEALTHIER CHICKEN ENCHILADAS I
I've always liked this recipe because it is quick and easy. I'm always looking for ways to cut out excess fat so I use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream. I also like to add fiber to make the meal a little healthier for my family so I add black beans and some bell peppers. This also adds color! To make it super healthy I use whole-wheat flour tortillas. And it still tastes just as delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook chicken in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain excess fat. Cube chicken and return to skillet. Add onion, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, and ground black pepper. Heat until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Stir in salt, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, and black beans.
- Roll even amounts of mixture into tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Bake uncovered in preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

From the Ortega website. Good way to use up leftover chicken. I make this often, and serve with shredded lettuce, diced white onion, and diced fresh tomatoes on the side. To warm tortillas, microwave on high power in a microwave-safe plastic bag until warm, about 45 seconds

HEALTHY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Found on the American Institute for Cancer Research's website. A healthy, good-tasting enchilada. By the way, these enchiladas turn out huge, so one will most likely be enough for one person. Also, this does take a while to make, but it's worth it. One problem with these enchiladas is that they're high in sodium, but you can easily leave out some salt or reduce the amount of sauce you put on the chicken.
