Chicken Enchilada Skillet
Prep 10 min Cook 15 min Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 white onion, (diced)
  • 1 green bell pepper, (diced)
  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3 cups enchilada sauce, (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 8 corn tortillas, (cut into 1-inch strips)
  • 2 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese
  • For serving: Chopped cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole

Steps

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil over medium heat in an oven-safe pan or skillet. Add the diced onions and bell pepper, and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded chicken, 2 ½ cups enchilada sauce, and taco seasoning. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Gently fold in the tortilla strips until fully combined. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tortilla strips to soften and soak up flavor.

  4. 4

    Top with the remaining ½ cup enchilada sauce, the shredded cheese, and broil for 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Top with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with sour cream or guacamole.
