- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Incorporate the shredded chicken into the skillet, mixing it with the sautéed vegetables.
- Stir in corn, black beans, diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour in the red enchilada sauce, stirring to coat the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly. Simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Assemble the enchilada bake by placing a layer of whole wheat tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon half of the chicken and vegetable mixture over the tortillas, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a layer of shredded Mexican blend cheese on top.
- Repeat the process with another layer of tortillas, followed by the remaining chicken mixture, and finish with a generous layer of cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Uncover the dish for the last 5 minutes of baking to achieve a golden, crispy top.
- Once done, remove the enchilada bake from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
