Ingredients
For the Tacos
- 4 cups chicken from a rotisserie or poached, shredded, cooked
- 1 can enchilada sauce
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 8 corn tortilla store-bought or homemade, warmed, or flour tortillas
Toppings:
- sour cream
- Easy Guacamole
- 1 can black olive drained, sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Shred the cooked chicken or finely chop it on a cutting board. I often use a rotisserie chicken or my poached chicken for this.
- In a large cast iron skillet, combine the shredded chicken and enchilada sauce and toss to coat. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring, to heat the chicken through. Remove the pan from heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cheese. Add 1 ½ cups (180 g) of the cheese to the chicken mixture in the skillet and toss to combine. Cover and set aside for 2 minutes to melt the cheese through while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Assemble each taco by placing a scoop of the enchilada mixture onto a tortilla and topping with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, sliced olives, and cilantro.
