4 servings
For the red chile sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- ½ medium white onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - ½ tsp salt
For the filling
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Chef's tipChoose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes. - ½ medium white onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
For the enchiladas
- 12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 1 ½ cups dairy free cheese, shredded
