Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound of cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup of corn kernels
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 can (10 ounces) of red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, black beans, and corn kernels. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Remove from heat.
- Pour 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable. Spoon the chicken and black bean mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
