Instructions
Creating Green Enchilada Chicken is a breeze! Simply follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the green enchilada sauce, sour cream, corn, black beans, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix Ingredients: Stir the mixture until well combined, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce and spices.
4. Tortilla Preparation: Briefly warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
5. Fill Tortillas: Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, rolling them up tightly.
6. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
7. Top with Sauce: Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well-covered.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Rest Before Serving: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
