Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup spicy BBQ sauce (adjust to taste)

1 cup ranch dressing

8 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)

1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Jalapeño slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, spicy BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, black beans, corn, diced bell peppers, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are coated evenly.

      Assemble the tortillas: Take one flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top, then roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas, laying each rolled tortilla seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

        Layer and bake: Once all tortillas are arranged in the baking dish, pour any remaining chicken mixture over the top. Drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce if desired. Then, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over everything.

          Bake the dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

            Garnish and serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired. Serve warm and enjoy each slice of spicy, cheesy goodness!
