In the kitchen with Lindsey!

My friend Lindsey and I have come to the conclusion that we spend way too much money at restaurants.  So, in order to justify my most recent shopping spree at my favorite vintage store, I decided that she and I are going to cook together once a week.  I enjoy cooking, but I'm better at baking.  Cooking regularly might be a challenge!

For our first cooking adventure, we decided to make my favorite enchiladas.  We have dubbed them my magic enchiladas (not sure why, but they are delicious!)

Katie's Magic Enchiladas

Ingredients:
1 pkg. boneless skinless chicken breast
Frozen diced onions
1 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
1 can of black beans
1 bottle of enchilada sauce (Ortega mild is my fave)
Flour tortillas
Cheddar cheese
Olive Oil

Cut your chicken into 1 in. pieces. 

Lindsey looking fab cutting the chicken!

Pour a little olive oil in the skillet and add about 2 tablespoons of diced onion.  I use the frozen kind, super cheap and lasts forever!  Saute them on medium heat until clear and fragrant.  Add the chicken and saute until no pink remains. 

Add the can of Rotel and stir (this helps de-glaze the pan and gets all the good flavor from the bottom.)  Drain the black beans and add the can as well.  Stir in about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce.  Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 min. for all the flavors to kind of meld together.

Spray a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray (or, you could use a little more olive oil.)  Take your flour tortilla and spoon some of the mixture into it.  Not too much, or it will overflow!

It should look something like this

Add some cheddar cheese then roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in the casserole dish.  Fill the rest of your tortillas and line them up in the dish.  Squish them together if you have to, it's ok if stuff falls out a bit.  Take any of your left over mixture and spoon it on top of all the tortillas.  Drizzle some more enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle as much cheddar cheese as you'd like as well.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15min.  The cheese should be nice and gooey.

Enjoy!
