  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups queso sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  2. Combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, chili powder, and cumin in a large bowl.

  4. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining queso sauce over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
