  • 4 cups cubed or shredded cooked chicken meat
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  1. Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Mix chicken, cumin, coriander, cilantro, black beans and chiles in a medium bowl; set aside.
  3. Spread 1/2 can of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Make 3 layers in the following order: 4 tortillas, overlapping if necessary, 1/2 can of enchilada sauce, 1/3 of the chicken mixture, 1/3 of cheese, and 1/3 of sour cream. Cover with aluminum foil coated with vegetable oil cooking spray.
