To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup enchilada sauce
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix together the cooked rice, black beans, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Next, warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds, or until they are soft and pliable. Spoon half of the rice and chicken mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled-up tortillas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if desired.
Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is hot and bubbly.
When done, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
