Oh. My. Gosh. I cannot even handle this recipe, it's that good. 

At approx. 650 calories for two of these enchiladas, it's kind of a "cheat meal"... so definitely don't recommend adding it to your weekly rotation or anything, but I personally wasn't too worried about it. You have to live a little sometimes, Right?!

 

We made these on Cinco De Mayo. We just had to have a Mexican inspired dish and this really hit the spot. These are

honestly the BEST enchiladas that I have EVER made, they were even good the next day!

 

Here's what you'll need: 

2 Chicken Breasts

3 avocados (skin removed & pitted)

1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth

½ red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeno, diced

1/2 tomato, chopped

1/4 medium onion, diced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 c. black beans, cooked

8 – 10 whole wheat (or corn) tortillas

3/4 c. Kraft natural colby & monterey jack cheese (grated)

 2 tbsp. chili powder

3 tbsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tbsp. ground cumin.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, put your chicken on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven.

Cut up two of the avocados and half of the jalapeno into small pieces and throw it in the blender or food processor

with the chicken broth (after portioning out about 1/8 of the broth and saving it),

1 tbsp. of garlic powder, and 1 bsp of cayenne pepper.

Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Once the chicken is cooked throughly (about 15-20 minutes), take it out of the oven, shred it, and mix the shredded chicken together with the remainder of the seasonings and the other 1/8 c. of the chicken broth. Mix in black beans, red pepper, other 1/2 of the jalapeno, onion and garic clove. Slice up the other avocado and add it to this mixture.

Spoon about 1/4 of the avocado sauce in the bottom of a rectangle baking dish.

Spoon in 1/4 cup of the seasoned chicken filling into each tortilla.

Wrap the tortillas lengthwise and place seam side down in the baking dish.

Pour the remainder of the avocado sauce on top of the enchiladas.

Sprinkle with cheese, if desired.

Cover with foil and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove the foil and cook another 10 minutes.

 

Enjoy!
