Test Kitchen Tip: For smoother beans in the enchiladas, using the chopping/mixing blade in a food processor, pulse beans and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Add additional water if needed. Spread about 1 tablespoon puree on each tortilla before adding chicken mixture. Repeat with remaining tortillas, puree and chicken mixture. Follow with Step 5.
