Easy Chicken Enchiladas Tasty and Quick Weeknight Meal
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1.5 cups enchilada sauce
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 0.5 cup diced onions
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro for garnish
- 1 serving sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, and half of the enchilada sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with a little diced onion and a spoonful of shredded cheese.
- Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Once done, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.
