Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 cups shredded chicken and 1 cup red enchilada sauce. Stir and cook until the chicken is hot and the sauce is bubbling, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side, until soft and lightly charred. Keep them covered with a towel to stay warm.

  3. Step 3

    Fill each tortilla with the saucy chicken. Top with the 1/2 cup diced onion and 1/2 cup diced tomato. Serve immediately.
