Black Bean Chicken Enchiladas

1 can (15.5oz) black beans
1-1/2 C. (6 oz.) shredded cheese
12 oz. cooked chicken, diced small
1 C. salsa
1 can (20oz.) Rosarita enchilada sauce
1 C. Milk (1%)
12 - 6" flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 375. Drain & rinse beans. Mix beans, 1 C. of cheese, chicken and salsa together in a bowl. In another bowl, mix enchilada sauce & milk. Spray a 9 X 13 inch pan or baking dish with a little Pam. Put about 1 to 1-1/2 C. of sauce mixture into the bottom of dish. Put tortillas on a plate and cover with a towel. Microwave approx. 30-60 seconds to soften tortillas and make them pliable. Put 1/3 C. of chicken mixture on each tortilla & roll up. Place each seam-side down in the pan. Continue using all the filling & tortillas. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas, coating completely. Top with remaining 1/2 C. cheese.

Bake @ 375 for about 20-30 minutes until sauce is bubbly & enchiladas are heated through. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Makes 12 Enchiladas.
1 enchilada = 247 calories - 8.5g fat - 23.5g carb - 3g fiber - 17g protein
2 enchiladas = 494 calories - 17g fat - 47g carb - 6g fiber - 34g protein

These were super-yummy, but I think I prefer corn tortillas. Next time, I think I'll use 1/4C. filling in each of 16 corn tortillas. I can't wait.
