Cheesy Enchilada Chicken Skillet Delight

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1 can (15 ounces) whole kernel super sweet corn, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup corn chips, slightly crushed

Instructions

1. Warm Up the Skillet
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, and let it warm for about 1 minute.

2. Infuse Oil with Cumin
- Sprinkle the ground cumin into the hot oil, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until the cumin releases its aroma.

3. Prepare the Sauce and Chicken
- Pour in the red enchilada sauce, stirring it into the infused olive oil and cumin mixture.
- Add the shredded cooked chicken breast, stirring to coat the chicken thoroughly with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Add Vegetables and Season
- Stir in the drained corn and rinsed black beans. Add the salt, mixing until everything is well combined. Cook for another 3 minutes until the mixture is evenly heated.

5. Incorporate Cilantro
- Stir in the chopped cilantro, saving a little for garnish. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

6. Create the Cheesy Goodness
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until fully integrated.
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt, approximately 3-4 minutes.

7. Garnish and Serve
- Remove from heat. Scatter crushed corn chips over the melted cheese.
- Garnish with the remaining cilantro.
- Serve hot, ensuring each serving has a bit of everything: chicken, corn, beans, cheese, and crunchy corn chips.
