Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

I tried this one about a month ago and fell in LOVE! Enjoy!!

TO-DIE-FOR CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

2-3 chicken breasts, shredded {OR rotisserie chicken}

1 {8 oz.} pkg. cream cheese

1 28 oz. can green enchilada sauce {I used Las Palmas}

1 can black beans, drained & rinsed

2 cups cooked rice {I used boil in a bag because I can't cook rice to save my life!!!}

Tortillas {I used Mission flour tortillas, but homemade would be muy delicioso!}

1-2 cups shredded monterrey & colby cheese

Cook chicken and shred; boil rice.  Mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, and 2 cups of the enchilada sauce together.  This mix makes A TON!!!!

Pour half a cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. 

 

Layer the rice & black beans to your taste…

and top with the chicken mixture in each tortilla.

Roll up each of the tortillas and place them in the baking dish seam side down. 

Top with 1 cup of the enchilada sauce…  

and 1-2 cups of shredded cheese.  The more, the merrier so we piled on the full two cups :)

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375 for about 25 minutes.

Uncover the enchiladas, turn on the broiler, and broil for about 3-5 minutes uncovered...just long enough to brown the cheese.  Swoon.

Y'all...these are honest to goodness downright AMAZING!!!!  I could eat these every night and be happy as a clam!  SO good!!!  Like I said before, this mixture makes A LOT of enchiladas.  These would be GREAT to serve if you were having a dinner party or bringing dinner to someone.  If you do decide to make these for a dinner party, pick up an extra can of the enchilada sauce to spread on the baking pan & on top of the enchiladas with each batch you bake.
