Chicken Enchilada Tortillas...enough for two nights!

On Tuesday night's menu was Chicken Enchiladas with Refried Beans and Jack Cheese. I had made this recipe about a month or two ago. It made a whole bunch of the filling, so I put it into a baggie and threw it into the freezer to have for a later date. Well this was my later date. It was perfect, I pulled it out of the freezer, thawed it and warmed it up. Then put it into the flour shells, rolled them up and drowned them in Mexican mixed cheese and baked them until melted and brown. Yummy! I served them with chips and salsa. Even the hubby commented on how yummy they were. The kids ate them down in record time and were happy with dinner. We found a WINNER!

Chicken Enchiladas with Refried Beans
(Robin Miller Quick Fix Meals Pg. 58)

2 tea. olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2 inch strips (I used fajita tenders)
One 15 ounce can refried beans
One 4 ounce can diced green chilies, drained if necessary
1/4 cup salsa
2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
Flour tortillas
Shredded Mexican cheese blend

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, stirring a few times, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in the refried beans, chilies, and salsa and simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
Arrange some tortillas on a flat surface. Top each with some chicken mixture and roll up the tortillas. Place side by side in a shallow baking dish. Top the tortillas with the shredded cheese. (I used only enough for our family for dinner this night, then I froze the extra filling for later)
Bake the tortillas for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and gooey.
EnJoY!

No dinner Wednesday night. We go to church and eat dinner there. Hubby is usually on his own for Wed. night dinners. It's usually leftover night for him or cereal night. Tonight though, he gets to eat out with work!
