Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat (1 tbsp) olive oil over medium heat. Add the (1 medium) onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the (2 cloves) minced garlic, (1 tsp) cumin, (1 tsp) chili powder, (1/2 tsp) salt, and (1/4 tsp) black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the (2 cups) cooked shredded chicken, (1 cup) black beans, and (1 cup) corn to the skillet. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Pour in (1 cup) enchilada sauce, and mix well to coat all the ingredients. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Spread a thin layer of the remaining (1 cup) enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  7. 7

    Take each tortilla and fill it with the chicken mixture, then roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.

  8. 8

    Once all enchiladas are arranged in the dish, pour any remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with (2 cups) shredded cheese.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  10. 10

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot.
