Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped A sweet onion works best
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped Fresh garlic adds flavor
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 16-ounce jar enchilada sauce Store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup sour cream Reserve some for serving
  • 4 corn tortillas, torn into quarters
  • 4 cups shredded chicken Use meat from a 2-pound rotisserie chicken
  • 1 15-ounce can low sodium black beans Rinsed and drained
  • 3 ounces shredded cheese A Mexican cheese blend or mozzarella
  • Jalapeño peppers and chopped fresh cilantro Optional toppings

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Can opener

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the chopped garlic and ground cumin, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour in the enchilada sauce and add the kosher salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors. Then, stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in the torn corn tortillas and shredded rotisserie chicken. Gently stir to ensure everything is well-coated in the sauce.
  4. Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the skillet. Mix thoroughly to distribute the beans evenly throughout the dish.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Carefully remove the lid and serve the skillet hot. Top with sliced jalapeño peppers and freshly chopped cilantro if desired. Serve with extra sour cream on the side for a delightful finish.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting your vegetables before adding them to the skillet.
  • Feel free to substitute the black beans with pinto beans or even refried beans for a creamier texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, use pepper jack cheese instead of the standard cheese blend.
