Instructions

Prepare your ingredients: Dice chicken, chop onion, and mince garlic. Rinse and drain black beans.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add chipotle peppers and sauce to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add black beans and corn, stir gently, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut tortillas into quarters.
Layer half of the tortilla quarters over the chicken mixture, spoon half of the remaining mixture over, and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
Repeat layering with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and top with remaining cheese.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro or avocado if desired.
