Ingredients:
For the Filling:
Flour or whole grain tortillas ( I used whole grain)1-2lbs of poached chicken breast from 3-5 chicken breast (depending on the size)
3-4 cups of chicken broth or water/bullion equivalent to poach the chicken breast
2-3 cups of prepared Mexican Style Black Beans
2-3 oz of cream cheese

8oz can of tomato sauce
red chili flakes to taste
salt and black pepper to taste
1 Tbs of oil
Directions:

ReplyDeleteYou don't know how bad I want these. Like, right now, for breakfast lol. Thanks for sharing this looks phenomenal! Enjoy your weekend love!
ReplyDeleteI've tried making enchiladas once - without recipe and I just guessed the recipe without knowing how. I think I'll go with your recipe next time, so it will be successful. =D
ReplyDeleteI heart enchiladas--that second photo is positively mouth-watering!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for making your own enchilada sauce! I use a recipe from PinchofYum that does most of it in the slow cooker, but I love how yours turned out! They look like comfort food for sure, regardless of how "authentic" or not you think they turned out. Good food is good food :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Enchiladas are one of my favorite dishes. I could eat it every day. This dish looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Ramona, I made the black beans the other day because of your post but I froze the left overs for another day. These enchiladas look really tasty. Love the enchilada homemade sauce too. Very nice. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner. All time comfort food right here!
ReplyDeleteAlright I am about to tell you something shocking now: Never in my life have I eaten enchiladas! You don't find a lot of Mexican (or rather American tex-mex?) restaurants here so I blame it on that. Yours look delicious, however and I escpecially like all the spices that go in there!
ReplyDeleteI make enchiladas once in a while. You just made me crave them! :) I guess the "while" just arrived! Yum! Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour enchiladas look too delicious to pass up - I am craving them :D

Yum!!!
Thank you my friend :)
