Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup queso blanco cheese shredded
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream for topping
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of queso blanco cheese, black beans, corn, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
  4. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of queso blanco cheese on top of the enchiladas.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and garnished with fresh cilantro.
