It is #SundaySupper’s Birthday. Yay! And, to celebrate,
the contributors of
#SundaySupper decided to
make recipes that have been featured throughout the year.
There are so many awesome recipes, how is a
girl supposed to pick just one?! It was a hard task, but I decided to make
Anne at Webicurean.com Enchiladas.
The Enchiladas were first posted in an After Thanksgiving
#SundaySupper, one that utilized leftover Turkey. In the original recipe
Thanksgiving Turkey was used to create Turkey and Black Bean Enchiladas. For
this recipe, I substituted chicken. A grocery store rotisserie chicken to be
exact. I also added corn to the recipe. I have this love affair with black
beans and corn that I could not resist adding into this dish. It was so simple to make and tasted amazing
that I for see these enchiladas becoming a weekday supper meal for my family as
well.
What you will need:
3 cups chopped cooked turkey (or
chicken)
1 can (14.5 oz) black beans,
rinsed and drained
1 clove garlic
crushed/pressed
¼ cup chopped cilantro
½ jalapeno pepper, finely
chopped
Juice from one lime
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 can (28 oz) green chile
enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup of corn, I used frozen
To begin, I mixed the chicken, corn beans, garlic, cilantro, pepper, lime juice, and ½ cup
cheese. In a baking
dish,
spread about ½ cup of the enchilada sauce on
the bottom of your pan . Now, it is time to construct your enchiladas.
Cover the corn
tortillas in a damp paper towel then place in
a microwave and heat for about one minute. Next,
spread a small amount of sauce on the tortilla
and fill with
⅓ cup your chicken and black bean mixture, roll the sides over, then place seam side down in your dish.
After you have made up the enchiladas, top them
with the remainder of your sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Place this,
uncovered, in the oven and bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until everything is
bubbly and the cheese is melted smooth.
I served this is a lime wedge to squeeze over the top of your enchilada.
I have never used lime juice in enchiladas.
Using the lime was a brilliant idea! The tang of the citrus really
sparked off the dish and brightened all the flavors. The black beans and corn,
my classic loves, were awesome paired with the cilantro and lime. This was a
great way to celebrate #SundaySupper.
Thank you
Anne at Webicurean for sharing such a wonderfully tasty dish.
I imagine this was great with leftover Turkey, however, it was awesome with
chicken.
Yum!
Be sure to check out all the dishes that are being served up. It is a
walk down memory lane and an awesome way to remind yourself of all the dishes
you want to make this year. There is so many it is too hard to pick just one.
