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.
