One Pan Chicken Enchilada Skillet
Description
This recipe starts with shredded rotisserie chicken flavored with ground cumin and oregano, combined with red enchilada sauce, chunky salsa, and a small amount of water to thin the sauce. The mixture is brought to a simmer in a skillet to warm through and thicken slightly, infusing the chicken with enchilada flavors.
Cut into strips, soft corn tortillas are stirred in to absorb the sauce and add body, followed by a sprinkle of Mexican blend cheese. Removed from heat, the residual warmth melts the cheese gently. Toppings of sour cream and sliced green onions finish the dish with cool creaminess and mild onion flavor. Guacamole is optional for extra richness and texture.
The dish is intended as a quick, satisfying skillet meal, ideal for casual dinners or easy entertaining. Serving immediately ensures the soft tortillas maintain a tender, moist texture and the cheese remains melty. Using rotisserie chicken reduces cooking time and adds convenient protein.
