White Bean Chicken Enchiladas Recipes

WHITE BEAN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

White Bean Chicken Enchiladas image

We have Mexican night at least once a week, and this is the perfect meal for it, sure to satisfy any craving! The white bean mash serves as a replacement for the oh so boring refried beans. You'll notice it gives a great zesty dimension to the dish. I recommend serving with sides of salsa and sour cream and a nice helping of yellow rice. Mmmmmm!

Time 1h

Yield 10-16 enchiladas, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 -5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (to taste)
2 (15 7/8 ounce) cans small white beans or 2 (15 7/8 ounce) cans great northern beans
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (33 ounce) package of small mexican corn tortillas
2 cups shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Heat large pan with olive oil. Add chicken either whole or sliced into strips.
Season chicken in pan with fajita seasoning, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper, using more or less according to your preferred taste.
Meanwhile, as chicken cooks, drain beans from cans and rinse thoroughly in a colander. Place in food processor or bowl. Add water. Grind beans with food processor or a hand chopper until resembling refried bean texture, like a paste.
Add cumin, more cayenne pepper if desired, and a generous amount of salt to bean paste. Blend well.
Once chicken is cooked, remove from heat and cut in strips if not done so already. Set aside.
Take a single corn tortilla, and spread a spoonful of bean paste on it. Put a few pieces of the cut up chicken down the center in a line. Add a sprinkle of the colby jack cheese blend.
Roll up the tortilla and place seam side down in the casserole dish. Repeat using as many tortillas as it takes to fill the entire dish.
With leftover bean paste, spread in cracks and crevices of enchiladas, like mortar on bricks.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of the entire dish.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes or until hot. Use broiler if necessary to melt cheese completely.
Serve with a side of yellow rice and condiments such as sour cream and salsa.
In a 13 x 9 casserole dish, spread bean paste thinly.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Open one can of the enchilada sauce and pour ½ cup into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the sauce across the bottom of the dish.
Place the shredded chicken in a mixing bowl and add the remainder of the enchilada sauce from the first can. Mix the chicken and sauce together until thoroughly combined.
To build each enchilada, lay a tortilla flat and spread 3 tablespoons of refried beans in a line down the center. Top the beans with 1.5 ounces of the shredded chicken and then sprinkle a tablespoon of the shredded cheddar over the chicken. Fold one side of the tortilla over top of the filling and roll until the enchilada is wrapped. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to form 8 enchiladas.
Place the finished enchiladas in a single layer row in the baking dish. Pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas and top with the remaining ¾ cup of shredded cheddar. Bake for 30 minutes.

CHICKEN INSTRUCTIONS: Place the raw chicken (frozen is fine) in the slow cooker and set to low. Cook for 6-8 hours, until easily pulled apart. You can cook the chicken without adding anything to it, or you can season it with taco seasoning as it cooks. Pretty much anything goes. Turn off the heat and shred the chicken with tongs when it is finished cooking.
ENCHILADA INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are lightly browned and the pan is fragrant. Add the beans, green chile, and sour cream. Stir to melt the sour cream and then stir in 1 1/2 cups chile sauce, the chicken, and the spices. Taste and adjust spices as desired.
Pour 1/2 cup chile sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 pan and tilt the pan to coat the bottom. Layer the tortilla triangles over the sauce and then scoop about 1/3 of the chicken mixture over the tortilla layer. Sprinkle with cheese and then layer tortilla triangles over the cheese. Repeat to make two more layers.
Pour the remaining cup of chile sauce over the last layer of tortillas and then sprinkle generously with cheese. Bake until the cheese and melted and the sides of the pan are bubbling, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for ten minutes before serving. Enjoy!
