These easy to make chipotle chicken enchilada cups make the perfect appetizer for a get-together they are also great for giving your weeknight dinner a fun twist.
For this recipe I got some inspiration from the delicious chipotle enchilada recipe I found on the ViveMejor.com website and I decided to give it a little twist. This version of enchiladas is filled with flavor and gooey Monterrey cheese and you don’t even need a knife and fort to enjoy it.
The best part is that these are so easy to make and fun to eat that they are sure to become a new favorite recipe. The crispy tortilla cups nestle a flavorful and mouthwatering mixture of chicken, cheese, black beans and cilantro deliciously seasoned with enchilada sauce, chipotle, Knorr chicken bouillon, and fresh cilantro.

These came out great and were a big hit with everyone. I’m thinking they would make the perfect game day homegating food and they also work well for parties and get-togethers with the familia.
For a family-friendly version that the kids will devour separate the chicken mixture into two bowls and add the chipotle to one of them only.
