Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 corn tortillas, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Avocado slices (optional, but highly recommended!)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that heat going!
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in those tortilla wedges and fry them until they’re nice and crispy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt!
- Remove the crispy tortillas and set them aside on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- In the same skillet, add the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes (with the juices), chicken broth, and cumin. Stir it all up and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, so those flavors meld together.
- Toss the crispy tortilla chips back in, mixing them well with the sauce. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Now, pour everything into a baking dish and sprinkle that Mexican cheese blend generously over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
- Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top, and if you’re feeling fancy, add some avocado slices!
And there you have it! A colorful, delicious Chicken Chilaquiles that’s perfect for any gathering. Serve it up and watch your family and friends dig in. Happy cooking, y’all!
