Poblano Skillet Enchiladas

It’s not your typical enchilada recipe, its more of a layered lasagna made in a skillet and topped with ALL THE CHEESE. To say this is a game changer would be an understatement.

Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts cut in half
  • 1 16 ounce jar tomatillo salsa or green enchilada sauce
  • 1 4-ounce can green chiles (optional)
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup fresh corn removed from the cob
  • scallions and cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the chicken, salsa and green chiles in a large pot over medium heat, stir everything to combine, and cook for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, and using 2 forks, shred the chicken. Reserve all of the sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium-large sized skillet, layer the ingredients, starting with a layer of sauce followed by 3 tortillas, ½ of the chicken, ½ of the black beans, ½ of the corn, ½ of the cheese.
  • Repeat for the second layer with the remaining sauce, tortillas, chicken, black beans, corn and cheese. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes uncovered, until bubbly and cheese has melted and started to brown on top.
  • Top with scallions and cilantro to serve. Cut into wedges as needed.

Notes

Save on dishes - if your skillet is the right size for everything and oven safe, use it to cook the chicken then remove the chicken to shred and let it rest on the cutting board while you proceed with the recipe.
