1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the filling.
Combine the cooked chicken, rice, black beans, corn, salsa, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
