  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cottage cheese, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the enchilada sauce on the bottom.

  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the chicken mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce.
