Equipment:​​

• Non-stick sauté pan
• Baking dish

Ingredients:​​

• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 large white onion, diced
• 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
• 1 (4.5 oz) can diced green chilies
• Sea salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• 1 (16 oz) can black beans
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 3 1/2 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese

• For Garnish:​​ Chopped cilantro, Chopped red onion, Sour cream, Chopped jalapeño pepper

​Instructions:​​

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a casserole dish.
2. ​​Make Filling:​​ Heat avocado oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once onions are slightly softened, add shredded chicken and green chilies. Liberally season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 4 more minutes. Stir in black beans until fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

   • Lay out a tortilla.
   • Spread 2 1/2 tablespoons enchilada sauce over it.
   • Place a generous spoonful of chicken mixture down the center.
   • Sprinkle with about 1/3 cup cheese.
   • Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the greased dish.
   • Repeat with remaining 7 tortillas.
4. ​​Top & Bake:​​ Spread remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. ​​Serve:​​ Garnish baked enchiladas with sour cream, chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper as desired.
