Skinny Chicken Enchiladas
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
- 1 pound Chicken Breasts
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Corn, Drained
- 16 ounces, weight Fresh Salsa
- 3 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- 1/4 cups Water (optional)
- 12 whole Small Corn Tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 cups Crema Or Sour Cream
- 1 whole Avocado, Peeled And Diced
- 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro
- 1/4 cups Cotija Cheese
- Put the black beans, chicken, corn, salsa, taco seasoning, and water in a crockpot.
- If your salsa is not very saucy, be sure to include the 1/4 cup water or more if necessary.
- Cook on high for about 3 hours (or longer on the low setting) until chicken is cooked through.
- You can also cut the chicken breasts into halves to help them cook faster.
- Use 2 forks to shred the chicken and mix everything together.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Soften the corn tortillas in the microwave, 3 at a time, for about 25 seconds.
- Fill them with a few tablespoons of filling, roll once, and place seam-side down in a large baking dish (I did 2 smaller baking dishes).
- Continue until all tortillas have been filled, rolled and placed in the dish.
- Be sure to pack them in tightly next to each other so that they dont come apart.
- Sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and everything is heated through.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with crema.
- Sprinkle with avocado pieces, fresh cilantro, and Cotija cheese crumbles.
- Notes: The corn tortillas will start to break apart on the top during baking if you dont warm them up enough prior to baking.
- For the crema, I just made a fake-out version with about 3 tablespoons sour cream and 2 tablespoons cream.
- I whisked it together until it was smooth, creamy, and drizzle-able.
- Also, I used part yellow corn and part shoepeg corn, which made the texture more interesting.
