20-Minute Chicken Enchilada Bowls
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing diced onion, garlic, zucchini, and grated carrot until tender. Cubed chicken breast is added and cooked through. Green chiles, black beans, cumin, salt, pepper, and enchilada sauce are stirred in to create a flavorful base. After bringing the mixture to a boil followed by simmering, corn tortilla slices and grated cheddar cheese are folded in to thicken and add texture and richness.
The dish offers a warm and satisfying meal featuring tender chicken pieces and vegetables in a mildly spiced tomato-based sauce with melted cheese and tortilla elements. The inclusion of fresh toppings like avocado or sour cream adds creaminess and brightness.
Serving over rice is optional but helps extend the meal. This bowl format makes it customizable and suitable for informal dinners or meal prep.
