[Samurai_Writer]

I don't ever measure. Sorry.

Ingredients
1 pound of chicken
16 oz of grated low-fat mexican cheese
1 package of flour or whole wheat tortillas (fajita sized, not the small ones or the really huge ones)
2 cans of black beans
1 package of Mahatma spanish rice
onion
sliced mushrooms
green, red, and/or yellow peppers, julienned
1 small can of medium enchilada sauce
8 oz. of Paul Newman's roasted garlic picante sauce
large container of low-fat sour cream
Fajita seasoning
Garlic
Cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in large pan (I prefer using a wok). Add sliced chicken, sprinkled liberally with the herbs and spices (go easy on the cilantro unless you like it hothothot). Cook chicken thoroughly.

2. Slice onions, peppers, and mushrooms, adding to chicken until veggies are sauteed.

3. Cook the spanish rice according to instructions.

4. Spray glass casserole dish with nonstick spray, and pour a bit of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan, just covering the bottom of it.

5. Layer the ingredients as follows:
a. Tortillas
b. Chicken mixture
c. Enchilada sauce and picante sauce (not too much!)
d. Spanish rice
e. Black beans
f. Cheese
g. Sour cream

6. Makee two complete layers, top with more tortillas, sauce, and cheese.

7. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

PS. It's better the second day!
