Ingredients:
- 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken (I use the thighs for this, but you can use the breast if you choose)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp adobo seasoning
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 green bell pepper; chopped
- 1/2 small onion; chopped
- 1 can black beans OR 1 can refried beans
- 4 oz. New York sharp cheddar cheese; shredded
- 8 oz. Pepper Jack cheese; shredded
- 12 six inch flour tortillas
- 1 recipe Red Enchilada Sauce
- Heat a 9 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and chicken. Cook until the chicken is near done and can easily be shredded in the pan.
- Shred the chicken. You can shred the chicken in the pan or remove it if it is easier to do so. If you shred it on a cutting board put it back in the pan when finished.
- In a 1/4 cup of water mix the adobe seasoning into a paste. Scoop the adobo paste onto the chicken and cook 5-10 minutes. Remove chicken from heat.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Set up a small assembly line with your tortilla shells, sharp cheddar cheese, green bell pepper, onion, beans and seasoned chicken.
- Make 12 enchiladas by adding all the above ingredients, gently roll them and place them into the baking dish. You should get 10 enchiladas to fit the length and then you can tuck 2 more under the row of 10.
- Cover the enchiladas with the recipe of red enchilada sauce.
- Top the dish with the shredded pepper jack cheese and back for 35-45 minutes or until that cheese is nice and brown.
