Instructions

Make the Enchiladas: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
the chicken, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and paprika to an internal temperature of 160F / 71C. Whisk in the broth and tomato paste. Season with salt. Bring to a low simmer for 10 - 15 minutes so the flavors can blend and the sauce can thicken.
Finish Making the Enchiladas: Use a slotted spoon to portion the chicken into each shell, then roll it up tightly and place into a baking dish. Spoon the sauce over top and sprinkle with cheese. Place under the oven broiler to melt the cheese.
Make the Guacamole: Mash the avocado with a fork in a bowl. Add diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the guacamole reaches your desired consistency.
Prepare the Margarita Mocktail: Place all margarita mocktail ingredients into a pitcher or drink shaker. Mix until the honey is dissolved. Adjust any of the ingredients as needed to taste. Serve over ice if desired.
Serve the enchiladas with tortilla chips and guacamole, alongside the margarita mocktail.
