Notes

  • This recipe is inspired by our favorite Chicken Crescent Bake.
  • Use whatever type of cooked chicken you have on hand - canned chicken (drained), rotisserie, grilled chicken, poached chicken, etc.
  • Red enchilada sauce can be found in the Mexican aisle at the grocery store. If you like some spice, go for the spicy version or use the mild like we did.
  • My kids love black beans, but you can use whatever kind you have one hand like kidney beans.  Or, leave them out completely.
  • If you have leftover filling for these chicken enchilada foldovers, do what grandma would do. Sprinkle it around the turnovers before pouring on the sauce. Don't waste it.
