Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, corn, 2 cups of shredded cheese, chili powder, and cumin (if using). Mix well.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Lay a tortilla flat, add a scoop of the chicken mixture, and roll it up. Place it seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Generously sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side.
