2 tbsp taco seasoning mix
15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush tortillas with oil on both sides and bake for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chicken, salsa, taco seasoning, corn, and beans. Cook 5 minutes until heated through.

Remove tortillas from oven. Spoon ½ cup chicken mixture on each tortilla and top with ¼ cup cheese. Bake 5 more minutes until cheese melts.

Notes
- For softer tortillas, use flour tortillas and reduce baking time.
- Add jalapeños for spice or sour cream for creaminess.
- Best served fresh for maximum crispness.
