{Contributor Post} Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

Happy May! It is Shannah, from Just Us Four, here to share a new recipe with you guys! It is a HUGE favorite in our house and I hope it will become one in yours too.

Recently, I decided to try my hand at making salsa verde! I was so excited with how it turned out…delicious! It made a lot though so I looked for ways to use it beyond chips and salsa for snacks. I figured why not replace the regular salsa and make salse verde chicken enchiladas!

What You’ll Need:

– 1 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken

– 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

– 3/4 cup salsa verde

– 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided

– 1 package 8-inch tortillas

– 1 cup green enchilada sauce

Let’s Make It:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1/4 cup green enchilada sauce in the bottom of cooking pan ensuring it covers evenly.

2) In a large bowl, combine chicken, black beans, salsa Verde and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.

Spoon into tortillas (about 1/4 cup per tortillas) and roll closed. Add to prepared cooking dish allowing each enchilada to touch.

3) Spread remaiining enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 or until cheese is bubbly.

Have you ever substituted salsa verde in place of a more traditional salsa? Do you have a favorite chicken enchilada recipe?
