Green Chile Sauce Chicken and Blackbean Enchiladas

Green Chile Sauce:

1 pound tomatillos, husked
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 jalepino pepper minced
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 cups water

I cooked this until the tomatillos were tender then put in the blender to mix it.
Corn tortillas
shredded chicken
1 c. grated cheese
1 can black beans
I cooked corn tortillas on a hot griddle then layerd them in a 9 x 13 pan, mixed the black beans and chicken together and layered them next. Spooned on some green sauce then 1/2 c. cheese. Another layer of tortillas, chicken mix, sauce, cheese. Then more tortilla's and the last of the green sauce.
Baked at 300 for 20 minutes.
This got a thumbs up from even from J. so maybe it should be higher than an 8.

I served cilantro rice with this. Just make rice according to package directions using chicken broth instead of water, then squeeze some lime juice over it, add about a Tbl of finely chopped cilantro and stir.
