Introduction

The ingredients vary when I make this- leave out the peppers and put in corn, add some shredded cheese and/or sour cream to the filling, coat the bottom of the baking dish with salsa... Once you have the basic ingredients it's very changeable to your taste.

Ingredients

    1 lb. cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
    1 large can black beans
    1 small can diced green chilis
    1 16 oz. package fat free cottage cheese
    1 tbs. ground cumin
    1 small yellow pepper, diced
    half red pepper, diced
    1/2 c. chopped cilantro
    3 cans enchilada sauce (enough to cover bottom of dish and top the enchilada's. )
    mexican style shredded cheese
    salsa
    sour cream
    guacamole

Directions

Makes about 12 enchiladas= 12 servings.

In large skillet, cook chicken. Set aside to cool while other ingredients are prepared.
In large bowl, combine beans, chilis, cottage cheese, cumin, peppers, cilantro- anything else you want in the filling.
Dice or shred cooked chicken and add to large bowl. Combine.
Coat bottom of 9X13" baking dish with salsa or enchilada sauce.
Heat 3-4 tortillas at a time in microwave, fill with filling, roll and put in dish.
Top with enchilada sauce to taste.
I top with about a cup of mexican style shredded cheese.
Bake at 350 until bubbley and heated through- about 45 minutes. I make these ahead and keep in the fridge until ready to bake- you could also freeze, but I haven't tried this yet.
