Author Rachael DeVaux

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 organic chicken breasts
  • 1 jar salsa verde
  • Tortillas (I used Siete GF cassava flour, but any work)
  • 1 jar of Siete enchilada sauce
  • Cheese (I always use goats cheese bc I’m lactose intolerant and found that I can digest goats milk without any issues)

Toppings

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Limes
  • Red chili flakes
  • Dairy free sour cream (Kite Hill)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large pot, heat oil on medium and add onions. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Trim chicken breasts and slice in half, lengthwise to make thin. Add to pot along with garlic and sear on either side, about 3-4 min each.
  • Pour in salsa verde, cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium low and let cook for 10 minutes. Once done, remove only chicken breasts and shred with two forks or a stand mixer. Add back to pot.
  • Heat tortillas in skillet until slightly golden. 
  • Spray baking dish was oil, then fill tortilla with chicken mixture, a few spoonfuls enchilada sauce, and some shredded cheese. Tuck seam underneath and repeat until all chicken is gone. 
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, then add shredded cheese. Bake for 30 min, then top with fresh cilantro, red chili flakes & limes!
