Granny's Black Bean Goat Cheese Enchilada With Mango Relish

Sauce

1 c Chicken stock 
10 Tomatillos (husked) -- Rinsed and chopped 
4 Cloves garlic 
1 c Onions chopped 
2 Serrano chiles Chopped 
2 tbs Fresh cilantro chopped 
Salt & pepper to taste 

1 c Mango Relish (separate Recipe) 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the sauce, in a saucepan, cook the chicken stock, tomatillos, garlic cloves, onions, and serrano over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the cilantro, and puree until smooth. Season with salt and set aside. 

Filling

1/4 c Chicken stock 
2 c Black beans cooked 
1 Clove garlic minced 
2 Serrano chiles Minced 
1/2 c Mango or papaya diced 
4 Scallions (white part only) Thinly sliced 
1/2 c Corn kernels  roasted 
8 oz Fresh goat cheese -- Crumbled 
Salt -- to taste 

Vegetable oil -- to soften Tortillas 
8 Corn tortillas 

To make the filling, in another saucepan, bring all the filling ingredients except the cheese and salt to a boil. Remove from the heat, whisk in 4 ounces of the goat cheese, and season with salt. Deep warm. Pour enough of the oil in a skillet to come 1/2 inch up the sides. Over medium heat, bring the oil to 350 degrees F. or just smoking. (CAUTION: Do This Very Carefully--This is VERY, VERY HOT--) Submerge the tortillas in the oil one by one for 5 seconds each to soften. Drain the tortillas on paper towels and keep warm: do not stack the tortillas. To assemble the enchiladas, divide the black bean-goat cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading evenly down the middle. Roll up the tortillas and place seam side down on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof baking dish, placing them snugly together. Pour the reserved Tomatillo sauce over the enchiladas, and top with the remaining 4 ounces of the goat cheese. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve 2 enchiladas per plate, together with Mango Relish
