Ingredients

20 corn tortillas (less cracking when rolled if tortillas are softer, thinner)

1 deli roasted chicken

28 + 14 oz cans green enchilada sauce (medium)

4 oz can diced green chilles

8 oz sour cream or yogurt

3 - 4 cloves garlic (or 2-3 tsp jar garlic)

1 can black beans (optional) drained and rinsed

2 cups jack cheese (pepper or regular) shredded

optional garnishes: scallions, sliced olives, diced, avocado, salsa, sour cream


Directions

Optional: consider roasting the garlic (skin on) in dry skillet until slightly brown. When cooled peel and mince garlic. Mix ~32 ounces of green enchilada sauce with sour cream. Shred roasted chicken into a large bowl. Add garlic and diced chilies. OPTION: consider adding black beans. Add sauce to chicken until moist (start with ~1 cup). Heat tortillas briefly in microwave (cover with towel to avoid drying out). Put some sauce on a plate and moisten a tortilla, fill with a ~1/3 c chicken mixture, roll and place seam side down in 9x13 baking dish (NOTE: this quantity generally fills a 9x13 and a 8x8 dish). Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 deg in the middle of the oven until heated through (~40 minutes). Once bubbling, raise rack to top of oven and broil briefly to brown the cheese (~1-2 minutes). Optional: consider garnishing with sliced scallions, sliced olives, diced avocado, salsa, sour cream
