Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup Enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned)
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 4 Corn tortillas, cut into 2-inch strips
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
- 2 Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shredded chicken, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir and cook for 2 minutes to coat the chicken with spices.
Pour in the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the tortilla strips to the skillet, stirring gently to ensure they are evenly coated in the sauce.
If using black beans, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
