- 1/4 teaspoons Cumin

- 3 cups Mexi Blend (or Other Favorite) Shredded Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly grease a large baking dish.
- (I used a 9 x 13 glass pan.)
- Heat 2 Tbsp.
- oil in saucepan over medium heat.
- Add in the first six ingredients and stir into melted butter for 1 minute.
- Then add water and bouillon.
- Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes until thick.
- In small skillet on the side, heat 2 Tbsp.
- oil over medium heat.
- Add diced onion and green chiles.
- Saute until onions are cooked and translucent.
- Turn off heat and add chicken to mixture.
- (Or if you are beginning with raw chicken, feel free to cook alongside the onions and chiles.
- Then dice or shred the meat afterwards.)
- To assemble the enchiladas, set up an assembly line including: tortillas, sauce, beans, chicken mixture, and cheese.
- Lay out a tortilla, and spread a spoonful of sauce in a line down the center.
- Then add beans on top of the sauce, then some chicken mixture, and cheese.
- Roll up tortilla and place seam-side down in baking dish.
- Once all enchiladas are made, pour extra sauce over the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Then remove dish and sprinkle extra cheese on top, and bake for 5-10 minutes more until tortillas begin to brown slightly around the edges.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
