How to Make Lite N Spicy Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced red onion, and half of the enchilada sauce. Mix well.
  3. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Fill each tortilla with approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  6. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sour cream, if desired.
