WEEKLY MINI MEAL PREP: Black Bean & Shredded Chicken Enchiladas, Superfood Pancake

BLACK BEAN ENCHILADA


ingredients:

8 tortillas (I use Siete Cassava)

  • 2 cans black beans (or 1 black 1 lentil)

  • 1/4 C pico de gallo

  • red enchilada sauce (store bought or see below for healthier homemade)

  • Organic mexican blend cheese

  • taco seasoning

  • garlic powder

  • salt + pepper

  • chili powder

  • oregano


toppings:

  • avocado

  • cilantro

  • plain yogurt

  • pico


Blend black beans with pico and seasonings to taste until smooth but with texture.

Add about 1/4 C cheese and combine.

Add a thin layer of red sauce to the bottom of a baking dish and coach each tortilla in the additional sauce while it’s still warm from the pan. Fill with bean filling and roll up then place face down in the dish.

Top with rest of sauce and another 1/4-1/2 C cheese.

Bake at 375 for 10 minutes


Red enchilada sauce:

  • 1 tbsp. chipotle chili powder

  • 1 tbsp. chili powder

  • 3/4 tsp. cumin

  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1 tsp. dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 3 tbsp. ghee

  • 3 tbsp. arrowroot starch/flour

  • 3 cups chicken broth or bone broth 

  • 6oz. can tomato paste


Add butter and arrowroot to a pan on medium high heat and combine. Then add seasonings and combine. Last add broth and tomato paste, reduce heat to low and whisk until thickened


SHREDDED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

ingredients:

  • 8 tortillas

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast

  • chicken or bone broth

  • diced tomatoes and chiles (rotel)

  • 2/3 C plain yogurt

  • 1 jar salsa verde

  • organic Mexican blend cheese

  • oregano

  • taco seasoning

  • chili powder

  • salt + pepper


toppings:

  • avocado

  • cilantro

  • Plain yogurt

  • pico


Bake chicken in the oven in a layer of broth at 375 for 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Do not overcook 

Shred chicken using two forks or a stand or hand mixer on low. You want fine shreds but not beat to a pulp

To the shredded chicken add yogurt, seasonings, and 1/4 C or more if you’d like rotel and 1/2 C cheese and combine.

Follow the same method as the black bean enchiladas, adding the sauce to the bottom of the pan then coating and filling tortillas placing them face down.

Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
