Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

  5. Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro.
