Steps
Sequence Step
1Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until just browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and oregano and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Sauteing your spices for a few seconds will give your sauce a fuller flavor.
2Add in the salsa and chicken stock. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
5In a large bowl, toss together chicken, sauce, and half of the cheese (about ½ cup).
7Top with half of the chicken mixture and drizzle with ¼ cup of enchilada sauce. Repeat layers one more time.
8Use in tortillas, quesadillas, or simply alone. Garnish with avocado and olives.
