Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, 1/2 c. chile sauce, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add chicken, beans, and green chile; stir to combine.
Pour 1/4 c. red or green chile sauce into the bottom of a 9 inch baking dish. Place a layer of tortillas triangles across the green chile sauce; scoop 1/2 of the chicken mixture on top of the tortilla triangles; sprinkle with 1 1/2 c. shredded cheese. Add a layer of tortillas; top with the remaining chicken mixture; sprinkle with 1 1/2 c. shredded cheese. Layer with tortillas; pour the remaining 1 1/4 c. chile sauce over the tortillas; sprinkle with the remaining 2-3 c. cheese.
Bake 20 minutes, until the edges are bubbling. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Remove from the oven; scoop onto plates while hot or let cool for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with tortillas chips.
*** Use a 1 1/2 quart oven safe dish. If using a smaller and taller dish, the longer the enchiladas will take to bake. If using a larger 9x13 dish, just watch the time closely and be careful to not overcook the shallower enchiladas.
6 servings.
