Simple Cooking with Heart brings you this kid-friendly Mexican dinner recipe the kids will love to help make it and eat!.....It's bursting with vitamins, minerals and fiber but most importantly, it tastes amazing.

Ingredients:
� 1 lb. chicken breasts, saut�ed and cooled
� 15.5 oz. canned, low-sodium black beans, drained, rinsed
� 10 oz. packaged, frozen whole kernel corn, thawed OR 15 1/4 oz. canned, no-salt-added or low-sodium corn, drained, rinsed
� 3 tsp. salt-free mild chili powder, divided use
� 12 taco sized whole wheat or corn tortillas
� 12 toothpicks
� 14.5 oz. canned, no-salt-added or lower-sodium tomato, puree
� 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400� F.

2. In a large bowl, add the cooled chicken. Let kids shred the chicken with their fingers. Then, have them add black beans, corn, and 1 teaspoon chili powder to bowl with chicken and let kids mix together with spoon.

3. Wrap 12 tortillas in 2 to 3 damp paper towels and heat in microwave until warm, about 1 to 1� minutes.

4. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. On a cutting board, place 1 warm tortilla and have kids add about 1� spoonfuls of mixture in a line down the middle of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up and use a toothpick to hold together. Place in the baking dish. Repeat with other tortillas. Any extra meat mixture leftover can be poured on top of rolled tortillas.

5. In a small bowl, have kids mix 2 teaspoons chili powder, tomato pur�e, and sour cream. Have them stir mixture and then pour on top of rolled tortillas. Bake in oven until warmed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips: Warming the corn tortillas in the microwave before rolling into enchiladas is a necessary step�the warmed tortillas bend nicely. Cold corn tortillas break very easily, which makes rolling into enchiladas not a success.
