1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
1 teaspoon cumin

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
8 small flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Sour cream for serving (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced bell peppers, cumin, chili powder, and 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Stir until well combined.
Assemble the Dish: Spread a thin layer of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Take a tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and placed in the dish.
Top with Cheese: Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
Bake the Enchilada Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with sour cream on the side. Enjoy this delicious and comforting chicken burrito enchilada bake!
