Ingredients

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
8 corn or flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked chicken, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Spoon the chicken and corn mixture into the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your cheesy Chicken and Corn Enchiladas!
