How to Make Creamy Chicken Black Bean Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Shred 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken.
  3. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup corn (canned or frozen), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
