Place Chicken in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with Chili powder, Cumin, Garlic powder, Salt, and Black pepper.
Pour cup Water over the Chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until Chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
Shred the Chicken with two forks. Return the shredded Chicken to the slow cooker.
Stir in the Red enchilada sauce, Black beans, Corn, and Onion into the Chicken.
Warm the Corn tortillas according to package directions (this makes them more pliable).
Spoon about cup of the Chicken mixture into each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the Shredded cheddar cheese over the enchiladas.
Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top with Sour cream before serving.
