Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups cooked chicken thighs, shredded (boneless & skinless )
2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese , 4- cheese
1 cup scallion, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning
1 dash kosher salt
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8 oz) can whole kernel corn, rinsed and drained
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drain
enchilada sauce
1 (29 oz) can enchilada sauce
72 inches corn tortillas
1 (2 oz) can sliced black olives, drained
fresh cilantro leaves, garnish
sour cream, garnish
guacamole, garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees; place rack in middle of oven.
Spray 13x9-inch baking dish with no-stick cooking spray.
After poaching the chicken, shred it and put into a large mixing bowl. Add to the chicken 1 cup of the Mexican cheese (reserve the remaining); 1/2 cup of the scallions (reserve the remaining); garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, lemon-pepper, and salt. Give a good toss.
To the chicken and cheese mixture add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of the enchilada sauce (reserve the remaining); blend well and set aside.
Spread 1 cup of the encilada sauce in the baking dish. Heat the remaining in a large skillet until warm.
Completely submerge each tortilla (one-at-a-time) in the warmed sauce. Shake off the excess sauce and transfer the tortilla to a large plate.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture evenly on each tortilla; roll up and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat these steps with the remaining tortillas.
Pour the reserved enchilada sauce over the tortillas, spreading evenly and covering tortilla edges. Top with the olives, and the remaining cheese and scallions.
Cover with heavy-duty foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the filling is hot.
Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with some or all the garnishes. A freshly tossed green salad dressed in olive oil and red-wine vinegar will make this meal complete.
