- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a 9"x13" baking dish with nonstick spray.

- In a large bowl, combine green chile mixture, chicken, black beans, 1/3 cup salsa verde and 1/2 cup cilantro. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese; season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Warm half of the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. Lay tortilla on a flat surface and spoon 1/2-3/4 cups of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Top with remaining salsa verde and remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese.
