Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lb Chicken Thighs or Breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 15 oz. Can Black Beans drained
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 cup Red Bell Pepper chopped
  • 1 cup Green Bell Pepper chopped
  • 1 cup Yellow Onion chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Chili Powder

  • ¼ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ⅛ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 10 Corn Tortillas each cut into 6 triangles

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat (or in an instant pot on sear), add oil and peppers and onions. Cook until tender. Add garlic and cook another minute. Stir in flour and all of the seasonings. Stir in tomato paste. Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking frequently. Cook over a low simmer until sauce thickens.
  • Add chicken thighs to the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour black beans over the chicken. Pour enchilada sauce over chicken and beans. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • When done, shred chicken with two forks or tongs. Sprinkle half of the corn tortillas into the enchiladas and stir to combine. Sprinkle the rest on top followed by cheddar cheese. Cover and cook for another 20 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, chopped cilantro and hot sauce. Enjoy!
