    c. Add cumin (first amount), paprika, chili powder, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, cilantro, diced tomatoes, and bring to a simmer.
    d. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with just enough water to form a slurry so that it has the consistency of thin gravy.

    f. Stir in the slurry and bring the sauce to a boil until thickened.
    g. Strain the sauce through a fine strainer and set aside.

  3. Drain and rinse black beans.

Preparation

  1. In a Hobart mixer with a paddle attachment, combine chicken, half of the cheese, black beans, and cumin (second amount).

  2. Scoop 2 oz of filling onto each tortilla.

  3. Roll tortillas around filling.

  4. Spread 16 oz of enchilada sauce in the bottom of each hotel pan.

  5. Place 24 enchiladas in each hotel pan.

  6. Top each pan with 24 oz of enchilada sauce.

  7. Cover with parchment and foil.

  8. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes covered.

  9. Uncover, then top with remaining cheese and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
