Description

Deliciously crispy corn tortillas topped with a flavorful chicken, corn, and black bean mixture, baked with melted Colby Jack cheese and garnished with fresh cilantro and tomatoes.


Ingredients

8 corn tortillas (6-inch size)

1 tbsp cooking oil

8.5 oz canned corn, drained

1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded

8 oz salsa

2 tbsp taco seasoning mix

15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained

2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Tomatoes, diced (for garnish)


Instructions

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. Garnish with cilantro and tomatoes. Serve immediately.

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.
