  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken and Seasoning:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • For the Skillet:
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 10 oz green enchilada sauce
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 14 oz Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 6 medium corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Season chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and diced onion. Cook for about 6 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and onion is soft.
  3. Make Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the green enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, and Cannellini beans. Simmer until heated through and well combined.
  4. Add Tortillas: Add tortilla strips and stir into the sauce, allowing them to soak and soften.
  5. Top with Cheese: Top with shredded cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook until the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.
  • Top with sour cream, guacamole, or cilantro for added flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
