Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x11x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Pour chicken broth into a small frying pan and bring to a simmer. Add chicken, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the pan and let cool. (30 minutes)

03

Step

In the same frying pan, add onion and red pepper. Sauté over medium heat until soft, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Shred cooled chicken and place into a large bowl. Add onion mixture, black beans, corn, cilantro, and chiles. Stir in 2 cups Cheddar and sour cream until thoroughly blended. Add Tabasco, salt, and pepper. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Place 1/8 of the mixture into center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place into the prepared baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over top and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until sauce bubbles and enchiladas are heated through, about 35 minutes. (35 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken and black bean mixture.
If you prefer a spicier kick, use a hotter variety of green chiles or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or beef for the chicken, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
These enchiladas are even better the next day, making them perfect for meal prepping.
