Method
Prepare the Enchilada Sauce

Make the Sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the red enchilada sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Fill the Tortillas
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, black beans, corn, and green chili sauce. Mix well. Take a flour tortilla, and place about 1/2 cup of the filling in the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to secure the filling.
