Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix in the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add Chicken and Seasoning: Stir in the rotisserie chicken, taco seasoning, and lime juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the chicken is well coated with the spices.
Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Add the salsa, sour cream, and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined. Simmer for about 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add Tortilla Strips: Fold in the tortilla strips, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the tortillas are softened but still hold their shape.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover with a lid and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
