Description
Enchilada Cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dish featuring tortillas filled with a flavorful mixture of chicken, beans, and cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 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
- For extra flavor, use leftover rotisserie chicken.
- Feel free to add extra toppings such as avocado or jalapeños.
