I can't help it. I like to eat Uh, we are making chicken enchiladas today. Hey Hey enchiladas So real real real simple. You don't need a lot of ingredients We're going to use some boneless skinless chicken thighs because they have the most flavor if you want to use chicken breast Go ahead use chicken breasts. I love the thighs because they're juicy. They got flavor We're going to use a can of whole black beans. We're going to use some shredded um cheddar cheese also some whole wheat tortillas and some Um enchilada sauce we want to season it with some cumin salt pepper little garlic Um, and that's it. I mean real real easy. It's going to be delicious You know when you get done making them you can top it with lettuce tomatoes Uh sour cream. I just I just eat mine with just the sour cream and the enchilada sauce So let's get ready to make this meal with mika First thing we're going to do is prepare our chicken. So I have my boneless skinless chicken thighs in a pot i'm going to add some Sea salt to that some very coarsely chopped garlic and onion And that is going to impart a lot of flavor and I am going to just bring this to a boil And let the chicken cook until it's done Now that the chicken is done cooking You want to drain it drain all the excess water out and i'm going to go in here and kind of Chop it down with my spoon Then i'm going to add my the whole black beans to my chicken mixture And then you're also going to add some black pepper Some cumin this is going to give it that nice smoky flavor And also a little chili powder And i'm just going to mix this until it's all incorporated And get ready to fill my tortilla shells It smells amazing Let's assemble the enchiladas. So you're going to start with your baking dish I just put a little olive oil on my baking dish just to ensure nothing sticks And then you're going to Pour a nice layer of this enchilada sauce in there. Now this is Not a really thick sauce So be careful Now i'm also going to you need a plate put some down on my plate right here And what I do is and I love this texture I take my tortilla and I have a whole wheat tortilla or tortilla And then I am going to Soak both sides. Oh that gives you that really nice texture So organize some things here. All right, so you soak both sides of the tortilla Right then you're going to take it You are going to Fill it with That nice chicken and bean mixture And don't be skimpy Then you're going to top it with a nice helping of shredded cheddar cheese Now I tell you guys all the time. I grade my own cheese because store-bought cheese has some type of chemical or film on it To prevent the cheese from clumping So I like to use my own cheese and then you're going to take this And then you're going to just tuck it And roll it And then you're going to put it in the sauce Put the roll side down Let me do one more so Get it all marinated in that sauce both sides. Okay Both sides. Yeah, let it just swim in there. Ooh, you're gonna take a nice helping Of your bean and shredded chicken mixture That was perfectly seasoned All right I love a nice filled enchilada Then you're gonna top that with a nice helping of cheese. Look at that So when you cut into it, the cheese is going to be all ooey gooey melty Now how I roll it is I take the sides I tuck those in first And I take one side bring it over tuck it in and you're going to tuck it in and squeeze as you roll Beautiful and put it in your pan Then i'm going to come back after i'm done with the rest of them and show you how to top it So all of the tortillas have been stuffed So the enchiladas are ready Now what you're going to do is now i've only made five the recipe that i'm going to share You can make between eight to ten So once everything is filled you're going to take this sauce And just pour it over Your enchiladas. I Love a lot of sauce on my enchiladas So you're going to pour it over And you're going to let these cook for at 350 For about 20 to 25 minutes and then During the last five minutes you're going to sprinkle The cheese over it so i'm going to put these in the oven I just checked on these in the oven. I'm going to take some of the sauce and baste it baste the top They smell and look absolutely delicious I'm ready to eat then You're gonna take your cheese And you're going to sprinkle the cheese on top You can't tell me that don't look delicious because it does Then we're just going to put this in here for another Another About four minutes and we're gonna be ready to eat Look at that delicious Finished product. Let's plate it up and eat it Look at that. The enchilada is out. I just sliced it in the middle. Look look at all look at all that filling you see that That looks delicious. I put a little sauce on the side You see the steam coming out So the reason why I like the enchiladas is because when the tortilla is soaked in that sauce I mean, it just has a texture that I mean, it's just delicious So what you're gonna do is you're gonna I don't gotta tell y'all how to eat it We're just gonna hit some of that sauce sop it on up Look at look at that big old chunks of chicken the the whole beans Like you don't really need none on here. Like you don't need no sour cream You don't need no salsa you don't need none of that because this is it's just it's just perfectly seasoned You know something that's good when you close your eyes, you know the food good when you close your eyes So the enchilada sauce is a little spicy.
