These Chicken fiesta enchiladas are a great meal to throw together in just a matter of minutes. Full of flavor with simple ingredients!
I’m all about quick and easy dinners – especially with ingredients I already have on hand! I love our black bean and corn chicken, but when dinnertime rolled around, I definitely didn’t have time to let it cook in a slow cooker before serving! I adapted it to fill some enchiladas, threw it in the oven, and it turned out delicious!
