Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1 cup enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 8 small flour or corn tortillas
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
– 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
– ½ teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon cumin
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
– Sour cream, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Prepare to create these Homemade Easy Chicken Enchiladas by following these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, half of the cheese, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, warm them slightly in a skillet to make them pliable.
4. Fill Tortillas: Place about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
5. Add Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over all the filled tortillas. Make sure they are generously covered.
6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the enchiladas.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the enchiladas for easy serving, and prepare any sides needed.

These steps guarantee a successful dish that will fill your home with delicious aromas!
