A rotisserie chicken from the grocery deli helps jump-start the prep to make this family-favorite doable on those nights when you need to keep your kitchen time to a minimum. For those occasions when you need to do a little prep in advance, you can make the filling up to a day ahead and wait to assemble the enchiladas right before baking. Packed with corn and black beans this version has a definitive Tex-Mex flair. If you like things spicy, turn up the heat with a little extra chili powder and cumin. Or add 1/4 cup canned jalapeño peppers into the sour cream mixture.
