Chicken Enchiladas



1/2 lb cooked boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes

1 can black beans, drained
1 cup salsa verde (found on the mexican aisle with other jar salsas- I like Herdez, but La Victoria also makes a good one)
1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
8 tortillas (for a lower calorie tortilla, I recommend Mission's Extra Thin Yellow Corn Tortillas)
fat free sour cream (optional)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together salsa verde and water. Spread 1/2 cup of salsa mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole pan. Evenly distribute chicken, beans, onion, and cheese (saving some cheese for topping), also adding 1 Tbs salsa mixture in each tortilla. Wrap up tortillas and arrange in pan. Pour remaining salsa mixture over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese on top is melted. Serve with a dollop of fat-free sour cream.

Makes 4 servings.
