How do you make this 5 Ingredient Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Skillet?

It’s SO incredibly simple. I like to use rotisserie chicken in this recipe because it’s easy and delicious, however, feel free to cook your own chicken in the oven, instant pot, crockpot, etc.

Start off by greasing a large skillet or casserole dish and pre-heating the oven to 400 degrees. Next, add your chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, and tortillas to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

      Hi Sally! I used 8 inch tortillas, and I haven’t tried this specific recipe with corn tortillas but I’ve used them in another similar recipe and it works great!!
