Ingredients

Scale

  1. 1 yellow onion, chopped

  2. 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

  3. 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  4. 1 tbsp garlic powder

  5. 1 tsp kosher salt

  6. 2–3 tbsp chopped chipotle in adobo

  7. 1 can (12 oz) red enchilada sauce

  8. 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

  9. 1 cup cream

  10. ½ cup cilantro, chopped

  11. 6 corn or flour tortillas

  12. 1½ cups shredded Mexican cheese

  13. Limes, avocado, and yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  • In a large oven-safe skillet, combine chicken, onion, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

  • Add chipotle and diced green chilies. Pour in enchilada sauce + ½ cup water.

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

  • Shred the chicken in the sauce using two forks. Stir in cream and yogurt (if using). Cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Add cilantro.

  • Arrange tortillas over the chicken, then top with cheese.

  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

  • Serve warm with fresh lime juice, avocado, Greek yogurt, and cilantro.

Notes

  • If you prefer spicier enchiladas, you can add more chopped chipotle peppers to the sauce.

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cheese.

  • You can use either corn or flour tortillas, depending on your preference.

 

  • To make this meal ahead of time, you can prepare the chicken and sauce mixture earlier and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before assembling and baking.
