Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

02

Step
10 mins

Combine chicken, beans, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, diced green chile peppers, cumin, chili powder, salt, and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until filling is heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add Mexican cheese blend to filling and stir until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.

03

Step
1 mins

Place corn tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a wet paper towel; heat in microwave until tortillas are warmed, about 30 seconds.

04

Step
1 mins

Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons filling down the middle of each tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around the filling and place, seam-side down, on a baking sheet. Spray the rolled tortillas with cooking spray.

05

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crispy, about 30 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a squeeze of lime juice to the chicken mixture.
To prevent the tortillas from cracking, warm them slightly before filling and rolling.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

    I used whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.

    Freezing them before baking works great for meal prep!

    These were a huge hit! My kids devoured them.

    Next time I'll try adding some corn to the filling for extra sweetness.

  • Abdiel Thompson

    So easy to make, and way better than store-bought!

  • Celestine Armstrong

    I like mine a bit spicier, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper.
