Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Lightly grease an 8-inch ovenproof dish.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook the chicken in batches, turning until golden brown. Set aside.
Using the same pan, saute the onion and garlic for 1-2 mins, until the onion is soft. Stir in the cumin, paprika, and coriander and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Return the chicken to the pan with the beans and season to taste. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins. Allow to cool slightly.
Place the wraps on a work surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between each one, then roll up to enclose the filling. Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the tomato sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with jack cheese. Next, combine the sour cream and milk and pour over the casserole; top with crumbled queso fresco and bake for 20-25 mins, until the cheese is melted and golden.
Meanwhile, prepare the salsa by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Season to taste. Serve the tortillas with the salsa on the side.
