Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place chicken breasts in a skillet, cover with water, and add onion, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, and bouillon.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes (depending on how thick the breasts are). Remove from broth; set aside and let cool. When the chicken is cool, shred.
  3. While chicken is cooking, melt 2 Tbsp butter in medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until roux starts to turn light brown.
  4. Add tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and adobo; stir to combine.
  5. Stir in chicken broth and 1/2 cup water.
  6. Bring to a boil, the reduce heat to low. (You can add up to a 1/4 cup more water to thin it out a little if you prefer.).
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  8. To assemble enchiladas, warm tortillas in the microwave so they are more pliable, approximately one minute.
  9. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the roughly chopped cilantro down the center of the tortilla.
  10. Next, add 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
  11. Top with 2 Tbls of black beans and a generous 1/3 cup of shredded chicken.
  12. Bring one side of the tortilla over the top of the filling, tuck in and continue to roll.
  13. Coat the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with 1 cup of the enchilada sauce.
  14. Place rolled enchiladas in the pan and cover with remaining sauce and 1-2 cups of cheese and any remaining cilantro.
  15. Bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes, or until hot all the way thru and the sauce is bubbly.
