Ingredients

  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • 10 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 14 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 ounces green chilies
  • 2½ cups shredded cooked chicken, rotisserie has extra flavor
  • ¾ cup corn
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 to 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced small
  • Sour cream topping, optional
  • Aluminum foil balls, for each cup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds so they are more bendable.
  • Using a regular size muffin pan place one tortilla in each cup and gently press the tortilla down into the cup, pleating the tortilla where necessary, to form a cup. Roll an aluminum foil ball to place lightly inside each cup (not pressing down too far into the cup) to help it keep its shape.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cups have hardened slightly on all sides. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside. Leave the oven on.
  • While cups are baking in a large mixing bowl combine the enchilada sauce, black beans, green chilies, chicken, corn and taco seasoning mixing well.
  • Carefully spoon the filling into each cup until the cup is full.
  • Place a small amount of cheese on top of each cup. Return pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and filling has heated up.
  • Remove from the oven and serve as is or sprinkle each cup with cilantro, green onions, and tomatoes. You can top with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken is a great choice for the cooked chicken in this recipe.
  • Don't press too hard on the tortillas when placing them into the muffin tin as you don't want to tear them.
