Instructions

  • Make the salsa: Add all the ingredients in a blender (except the chips) and pulse until chopped well. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the enchiladas: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the chicken, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and paprika until chicken is no longer pink. Then 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.
  • Preheat the oven broiler on low.
  • 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. Chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
  • Make the enchiladas: Use a slotted spoon to portion the chicken into each shell, then roll it up tightly. Spoon the sauce over top and sprinkle with cheese. Place under the oven broiler to melt.
  • Serve the enchiladas with chips and salsa and margarita mocktail. Garnish mocktail with lime wedges if using.
