½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp olive oil

For the enchilada sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Oregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
½ tsp salt

For assembly

8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
1 ½ cups dairy free cheese, shredded

For serving

2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season all over with the salt, cumin, and garlic powder.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5–6 minutes per side, until the exterior is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks.
