Ingredients

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
8 small flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent.
Add the bell peppers and corn to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on the stovetop to make them pliable.
Place a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the enchiladas.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro.
