Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 pieces
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups brown rice, cooked
2 (10 oz) cans red enchilada sauce, medium heat
8 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened
4 oz low-fat sour cream
4 1/2 oz diced green chili peppers, drained
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded low-fat monterey jack cheese

Directions:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and chicken for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Continue to sauté until chicken is thoroughly cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the cilantro, then gently fold in the rice and black beans.
In a sauce pan over low-medium heat, stir together 1-10 oz. can of enchilada sauce, the cream cheese, sour cream and chili peppers. Remove from heat when fully incorporated. Add sauce to chicken mixture.
Spray the bottom of a 10x13 baking dish. Place 6 tortillas on the bottom of the pan, overlapping them to make a solid row of tortillas.
Spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle on 3/4 cup cheese. Layer again with 6 tortillas, the rest of the chicken mixture, followed by 3/4 cup cheese. Cover casserole with 4 tortillas, the second 10 oz. can of enchilada sauce and then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top.
Cover with aluminum foil (I spray the inside cover so the cheese doesn’t stick) and bake for 45 minutes in a preheated 375 degree F oven. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned on top.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
