How to Make Chicken And Corn Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, corn, 1 cup of the cheese, diced tomatoes and green chilies, onion, chili powder, and cumin. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a large bowl, gently mix the salsa and enchilada sauce.
  4. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
  5. Warm each tortilla in the skillet for about 10-15 seconds per side, or until pliable. (You can do this in batches).
  6. Brush one side of each tortilla with the sauce mixture.
  7. Place approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken filling into the center of each tortilla.
  8. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top.
  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
