Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Corn kernels, drained (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1 can (10 oz) Diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel)
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 4 large Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0 Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 Salsa (optional, for serving)
• 0 Guacamole (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chiles, 1 cup of shredded cheese, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto a large flour tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, arranging them side by side in the dish.

Step 4

Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the enchilada sauce.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with your choice of sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
