Creating the perfect Easy Chicken Enchiladas is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, ½ cup of cheese, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

3. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.

4. Assemble Enchiladas: Take a tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.

5. Add Sauce: Pour salsa over the enchiladas. Make sure to cover them well for added flavor.

6. Top with Cheese: Spread the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

8. Add Sour Cream: Remove the dish from the oven and drizzle with sour cream before serving.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness.

10. Serve Warm: Allow cooling for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Each step is designed to ensure you enjoy the process while creating a meal that’s both satisfying and delicious.
