Layered Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas

Submitted by Auvan

"Absolutely delicious layered enchiladas. This recipe is very versatile. This is my version of a recipe I got from a Pillsbury magazine publication. The regular recipe called for Co-Jack cheese, fresh cilantro (2 T), and more green chiles. I sometimes add some fresh cilantro, but don't usually have it on hand."
