    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened.

    2

    Add the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes, until heated through.

    3

    Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a baking dish.

    4

    Take a tortilla and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture down the center. Roll it tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

    5

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well coated.

    6

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

    7

    Garnish the enchiladas with dollops of sour cream and freshly chopped coriander before serving.
