Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 cups chopped kale
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded or diced cooked chicken
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450.

  2. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add kale and water; cook, stirring, until bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, cumin, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl.

  3. Combine enchilada sauce, sour cream and chipotles to taste in a small bowl. Spread 1/2 cup of the mixture in the pan. Place 4 tortillas over the sauce, overlapping them to cover the bottom. Top with half the chicken mixture, 1/4 cup onion and 1/2 cup cheese. Layer on half the remaining sauce, 4 tortillas, the remaining chicken, 1/4 cup onion, and 1/2 cup cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas, sauce and cheese.

  4. Bake the enchiladas until bubbling, 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup onion before serving.
