Hellobee Boards

I made one of my husband's favorites today. Put 1 jar salsa, 1 can black beans, & 1 lb chicken breasts in crockpot. Cook & serve with your favorite tortilla chips. Easy, semi-healthy, & plenty of leftovers!

A favorite in our house is Santa Fe chicken.

@jhd: That sounds yummy! I think I will make that sometime soon I like easy!

Tonight I'm making Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas.
2 roasted sweet potatoes, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of sour cream, garlic (I usually put in a spoonful or so) and some sort of spice (I put in chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper). Whirl in blender until smooth.

Saute a bit of onion and garlic in a little bit of oil, add in spice (chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper, to taste), (I also throw in a can of diced green chili peppers from the International food aisle). Throw in a can of rinsed black beans and saute for a minute or two.

To assemble: spread a layer of the sauce in the bottom of a baking pan. Soften corn tortillas (I like the fry in a bit of oil and stack method), add a smear of the sauce + a sprinkle of cheese (I use Mexican blend) + 2-3 spoonfuls of the black bean mixture, roll and put in pan. In between layers of enchiladas spread sauce, then cheese. Bake...eh, 20-30 minutes at 350, or until heated through/cheese melts.

I usually make these vegetarian but have made them with shredded chicken before. Same as above but I mix a bit of the sauce in with the chicken and use less of the black bean mix.

It's a bit messy and can be time-consuming, but are so good. I also tend to make too much sauce/bean mix, but they both freeze and reheat well so I pull them out and defrost when I want to make it again.
