Method

For the Chicken Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken breast, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Add Cheese

    Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheese into the chicken mixture until well combined.

For Assembly

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling into the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 5

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.

  4. 6

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve with optional sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
