Creating these Homemade Easy Chicken Enchiladas is simple. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the cheese, chopped onions, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. If you’re using black beans, add them too.
3. Warm Tortillas: If using corn tortillas, lightly warm them in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them easier to roll.
4. Fill Tortillas: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
5. Add Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Ensure they are covered well to keep them moist.
6. Sprinkle Cheese: Top with the remaining cheese, spreading it evenly over the sauce.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Cool and Garnish: Once baked, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro, if desired.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the enchiladas into portions for serving.

Following these straightforward steps will help you craft these incredible enchiladas without any fuss!
