Healthy enchilada dip

Step by Step

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add the ground chicken to the skillet and season with salt, cumin, and chili powder to the chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the onion and garlic to the chicken and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Next, add the black beans, pinto beans, corn, chilis, and enchilada sauce. Toss until all of the ingredients are coated in enchilada sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Turn the oven to broil and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the top of the enchilada dip with cheese and transfer to the oven.

Step 5

Broil for 1-3 minutes until golden brown. Remember every oven is different, so timing will vary by oven.

Step 6

Remove from the oven. Garnish with cilantro and serve with tortilla chips.

Tips and Warnings

Ground chicken can be substituted with ground turkey, ground beef, or ground pork.
We used black beans and pinto beans, but you can use any type of beans.
Feel free to add diced sweet potatoes in step #3, just simmer the dip for double the amount of time until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
