about this recipe

easy fast gluten free

Easy dinner ideas are my specialty, especially one-pot meals that are ready in under 30-minutes. This quick chicken enchilada skillet comes together simply with just a handful of ingredients and is sure to be a new family favorite!

STEP 1:

Cook the onion and bell pepper in a large skillet.

STEP 2:

Add the chicken, black beans, enchilada sauce, tortilla pieces, ½ cup cheese, and ¼ cup chicken stock, stirring until well combined.

STEP 3:

Cook on low for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the tortillas have softened.

STEP 5:

Turn off the heat, then sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of cheese. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes for the cheese to melt.

Since these stovetop enchiladas cook up super quickly as a 30-minute dinner, I recommend prepping all the ingredients, including chopping the onion and peppers, making the enchilada sauce (if not using store bought), and shredding the chicken (if not using leftover enchilada chicken).
