Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz flour tortillas, 8-inch about 8–10 tortillas
  • 12 oz cooked chicken, shredded
  • 3 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese
  • 1.25 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 0.75 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 cup salsa plus more for serving
  • 0.5 cup sour cream for serving
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a large rimmed sheet pan.
  • Toss bell pepper, red onion, and corn with about half the oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the pan and roast 8–10 minutes.
  • Combine chicken, black beans, 2 cups cheese, cilantro, lime juice, taco seasoning, chili powder, and cumin. Stir in 2 tablespoons salsa.
  • Warm tortillas briefly so they bend easily (microwave 20–30 seconds).
  • Arrange tortillas to cover the pan, overlapping and letting edges hang over the sides to fold later.
  • Spread the chicken-bean mixture evenly over the tortillas. Scatter roasted veggies on top, then the remaining cheese.
  • Fold overhanging tortillas over the filling. Add a few more tortillas to cover gaps if needed and brush tops with remaining oil.
  • Bake 12–15 minutes until the cheese melts and tortillas turn golden. Broil 1–2 minutes for extra crisp edges if desired.
  • Rest 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with salsa and sour cream.

Notes

Try it with cooked chorizo or sautéed mushrooms instead of chicken. For freezer prep, assemble, cool, and freeze unbaked; bake from frozen at 400°F until hot and crisp, adding a few minutes as needed.
