Pro tips
- For a vegetarian option, omit chicken and add more beans or diced bell peppers.
- Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent tearing.
- Adjust chili powder and add a pinch of cayenne for extra spice.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a side of guacamole for added richness.
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken, shred, and set aside.
- 3In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4Stir in the black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, shredded chicken, and fresh cilantro. Cook for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5Warm tortillas briefly in a microwave or dry skillet to make them pliable. Dip each tortilla into the enchilada sauce, coating both sides.
- 6Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and bean mixture down the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with a little cheese, then roll it up tightly.
- 7Place the rolled enchiladas seam-down in the prepared baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, then sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese.
- 8Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
- 9Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
