Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Mix chicken, sour cream, black beans, 1½ cups enchilada sauce, corn, half of the cilantro, and spices into a large bowl.
- In a 9x13 pan, scoop ⅓ of the chicken mixture into the bottom of the pan. Spread evenly. Place one layer of cut tortillas over the chicken mixture. Top with ⅓ of shredded cheese.
