We start by preheating the oven to 170 degrees Celsius, an essential step to achieve even cooking of the chicken. Meanwhile, we take a baking sheet and spray it with cooking spray, ensuring that the tortilla rolls do not stick. We place the sheet in a baking tray, preparing the ground for our delicious tortillas. In a small bowl, we combine the essential spices to add flavor to the dish. We mix cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper, creating a fragrant blend that will give an intense taste to the chicken breast. After preparing the spice mix, we place the chicken breast in the baking tray. We evenly sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. We leave the chicken in the oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius. This will ensure that the chicken is properly cooked while retaining its juiciness. After the time is up, we take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for a bit, allowing the juices to redistribute. In the meantime, we keep the oven on and prepare a new baking sheet, which we spray again with cooking spray. Once the chicken has cooled slightly, we tear it into smaller pieces and add it to a medium bowl. Here, we add our favorite cheese, which will melt easily, and the beans, mixing everything very well. This mixture will be our delicious filling. Meanwhile, we take the corn tortillas and place them between two damp paper towels, putting them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This step will soften the tortillas, making them easier to roll. We fill each corn tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling mixture, rolling them tightly. We place each roll on the prepared baking sheet, lightly spray with oil, and bake them for 15-20 minutes. When they are ready, we serve two tortillas per portion, alongside 1/4 cup of chopped lettuce, 2 tablespoons of guacamole, and 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes or whole cherry tomatoes. This dish is not only tasty but also colorful and nutritious, perfect for a family meal or a night with friends. Enjoy your meal!
