Ingredients

  • 1.5 tablespoons avocado oil
  • ½ large white onion (diced)
  • 1.5 teaspoons coarse sea salt (separated)
  • 5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 lb. shredded chicken (we used rotisserie chicken)
  • 15 oz. black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 1.5 cups chunky salsa
  • 1.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon favorite hot sauce (optional)
  • 4 small corn tortillas (cut into triangles)
  • 1.5 cups of shredded Mexican mix cheese
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Avocado

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

  2. 2

    Heat avocado in an oven-safe large skillet over medium/high heat. Add the onion when the oil is fragrant and season with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Saute for 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add garlic to the onion and saute for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Turn heat to medium and add the chicken, black beans, and corn to the skillet and stir all of the ingredients together.

  5. 5

    Prepare the sauce. Add the enchilada sauce, salsa, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and hot sauce to a bowl and whisk the ingredients together until combined. Pour the sauce into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Next, fold the tortillas into the mixture so they are completely submerged in the enchilada sauce.

  7. 7

    Top with cheese, transfer the skillet to the oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling over the sides.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Top with optional toppings.
