  5. Place one tortilla in the prepared pan.
  6. Add approximately 1/4 cup shredded chicken and 1/4 cup cooked rice to the center of the tortilla.
  7. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the pan.
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining tortillas.
  9. Evenly spread the black beans over the enchiladas.
