Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces *see cook's note
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
1/3 cup prepared salsa, mild, medium or hot
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 1/3 cups shredded Monterey jack and or Cheddar
*Cook's note: this is enough chicken to make this meal and another meal. If you are only making this meal, use 1 pound chicken.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 2 minutes. Add chicken and saute 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove half of the chicken and reserve for another use.

Stir in black beans, green chiles, and salsa and simmer 5 minutes, until sauce thickens and reduces. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.

Arrange 4 tortillas on a flat surface. Top each tortilla with an equal amount of chicken mixture. Roll up tortillas and place side by side in a shallow baking dish. Top tortillas with shredded cheese (1/3 cup per tortilla).

Bake enchiladas 15 minutes, until cheese is golden and gooey!

Not going to make this recipe...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

...because after reading other reviewers' comments, I find too many that are NOT reviewing the recipe provided, they are... reviewing the recipe as they have modified it. To me, if you have to modify so much, the original recipe is lacking. I find this to be the case with a lot of Robin's recipes -- basics are OK, but so often seem to be lacking something... she's supposed to be the recipe developer, not me, When there are plenty of other good recipes available (Tyler Florence, Emeril, etc.), why re-invent?Read more

Enchiladas
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Too dry. If you have to add so many more ingredients, how can it be a great recipe. I do like this show and Robin. She is... very informative and is good at planning. Also, she does not shout or have a forced delivery like, for instance, cooking for real's what's her name.Read more

Great Basic Enchiladas
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe looked great, but like other reviews, I felt it needed some additions. I added more salsa, a can of Mexicorn, a... cup of cooked rice, some taco seasoning mix, and additional spices to the filling to give it more of a kick. I put some red enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish before adding the enchiladas then poured the rest of it over the enchiladas before adding the cheese. They were moist and delicious, especially with add-ons like additional salsa, sour cream, jalapenos, black olives, and guacamole. Yummy!!Read more
