EASY BLACK BEAN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the chicken breasts on a lined sheet pan. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the olive oil and generously sprinkle with some of the salt and pepper.
• Roast the chicken breasts for 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, pull the meat into pieces with a fork.
• While the chicken is baking in the oven, place the 1/4 cup olive oil, corn flour, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk. When hot, add the tomato paste, chopped green chiles, and minced jalepeño (if using) and whisk constantly until smooth and darkened in color. TIP: Be careful not to burn the mixture once the tomato paste and chiles go in the pan. It will form a paste and cook quickly. You want the color to darken, but not burn.
• Whisk in the chicken stock in several additions, along with the lime juice. Simmer, stirring frequently, until lightly thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Heat the remaining olive oil (from the 1/4 cup less 1 tablespoon from the chicken) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the black beans and diced onion and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water about halfway if the pan starts to look dry. The black beans should break down a little with the onions.
• Add the pulled chicken, spinach, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and the black pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has fully cooked, the ingredients are well mixed, and most -- but not all -- of the spinach water has evaporated. If the mixture looks too dry, add a couple tablespoons of water or broth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Lower the oven to 375°F and grease a 9" x 13" casserole dish. Spoon a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the casserole.
• Fill each tortilla with a 1/2 cup (or so) of chicken and black bean filling and sprinkle with some of the grated cheese. Roll, and place seam-side down in the casserole. Repeat until you have a nice, full row of tortillas.
• Smother the tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce and cover with the rest of the cheese and half of the scallions. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until hot.
• Serve hot with a side of sour cream, sliced avocado, and the remaining scallions.
