Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Place a large (12 inch) heavy duty skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the diced sweet yellow onion and saute for 2-3 minutes or until the onions are tender and translucent.
- To the skillet, add the mild diced green chilies, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all the spices with the onions and green chilies.
- Add the mild red enchilada sauce to the skillet and stir to incorporate all the spices into the sauce. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and stir to evenly coat all the chicken with the sauce.
- Cook the sauce and chicken for 3-4 minutes or just until the sauce starts to come to a low boil.
- Turn off the heat to the skillet and gently stir, or fold, in the strips of white corn tortillas until they are evenly distributed and fully coated in the sauce.
- Top the skillet enchilada mixture with the shredded cheddar-jack cheese and place into the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbly.
- Garnish the skillet enchiladas with fresh cilantro and avocado slices and serve while warm.
