Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and let them cool before shredding with two forks.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add coconut aminos, crushed tomatoes, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.
Mix the shredded chicken back into the sauce mixture, combining everything together.
Spoon a portion of the chicken filling into each coconut flour tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour any remaining sauce on top of the rolled enchiladas.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes.
Once done, let the enchiladas cool for a couple of minutes, then garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Enchiladas.
