Steps

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large saute pan with oil. Saute onion and garlic until tender; add drained chilies, tomato sauce and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and flour. Stir well to combine.
2
Add one cup of the sauce to the shredded chicken, mix in the rinsed and drained black beans and corn.
3
Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds to soften and make them more pliable. Coat the bottom of a 13 x 9"pan with a ladle of sauce.
4
Divide chicken mixture among the 8 tortillas. Fold tortillas over the filling, arrange in baking pan, top with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake in oven until the cheese melts.
5
Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce. Garnish with cilantro leaves, chopped scallions, low-fat sour cream, chopped tomatoes, salsa, and/or diced avocado if desired.
