• ¼ tsp cumin
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil spray

Optional Toppings:

• Diced tomatoes
• Sliced green onions
• Fresh cilantro
• Greek yogurt or light sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with oil.

2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, salsa, black beans, cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Place tortillas on the baking sheet. Spray lightly with oil for crispiness. Spread the chicken mixture evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

4. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Finish with Toppings
Top with fresh ingredients like diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a squeeze of lime before serving if desired.
