Enchiladas

Rice and Beans

Method

Enchiladas Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry the corn tortillas for about 10 seconds on each side to soften them. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a tortilla, add about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the green enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Rice and Beans Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the white rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Beans

    In a separate saucepan, heat the cooked black beans over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 8

    Finish the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro and juice from the lime.
