Preparation: Step by Step

Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Once done, shred the chicken using two forks and set it aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Enchilada Sauce
In a medium bowl, mix the salsa and black beans. This will serve as your enchilada sauce.
Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas
Spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking dish. Then, spread a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all the chicken and tortillas are used up.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
