Instructions
Place your chicken (frozen is fine) in a crockpot. Add about a cup of water and cook on high until it is cooked through and easily shredded. Depending on the crockpot, this will range from 3-5 hours. Once the chicken is cooked, drain any liquids and shred with a pair of tongs. Pour green chile sauce over the chicken and toss with tongs to ensure everything is well covered. Add the black beans and a bit more sauce if necessary to make sure everything is fairly well soaked with the green chile sauce.
Pour enough green chile sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan to cover it. With a tortilla in one hand and the tongs in the other, fill the tortilla with about 2/3 of a cup of the chicken and bean mixture, roll the tortilla up and place at the end of the pan. Repeat this with the rest of the tortillas, lining them up in the pan. When the pan is filled, smother the tortillas with the remaining green chile sauce and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted, approx 20-30 minutes. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, lettuce, tomato and olives before serving. Enjoy!
FREEZER MEAL: The pan of enchiladas can be covered tightly with foil and frozen. Thaw completely in the refrigerator prior to cooking.
