Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Cut chicken into chunks; set aside.
3. In skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towel to soak any excess grease; discard any grease in skillet. In same skillet, coated with nonstick cooking spray, sauté chicken and garlic until chicken is almost done, 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Stir in 1/2 cup salsa, the beans, bell pepper, cumin, salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is done. Stir in green onions and reserved bacon.
5. Divide chicken-bean mixture among 12 tortillas, placing mixture downcenter of each tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll up andplace seam-side down in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Spoon remaining 1 cup salsa evenly over enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. If you want to freeze the dish for later use, freeze before baking.
