Saute Onions & Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken and saute for 4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Cook Filling: Sprinkle the taco seasoning and garlic over the chicken/onion mixture and stir to coat. Stir in black beans, green chiles, and salsa and simmer for about 4 minutes, until sauce thickens and reduces.

Build Casserole: Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface. Top each tortilla with a generous 1/2 cup chicken/bean mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese. Roll up tortillas and place them seam-side down, side-by-side in the baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas. Then, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Bake: Bake enchiladas for 15 minutes, until cheese is golden.
