Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, diced onion, green chilies, cumin, and half of the chopped cilantro.

  3. 3

    Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas briefly (microwave or skillet) to make them pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

  5. 5

    Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese.

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and tortillas are heated through.

  7. 7

    Garnish with remaining fresh cilantro before serving.
