Preparation

Step 1

Cook chicken, drain, and shred {or shred your rotisserie}. Meanwhile boil pasta according to package and chop the veggies. The most time consuming part of this recipe is the time spent chopping the veggies. Y’all…it took like, 5 minutes ;)



Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet and cook onions for about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic & red pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes.




Add cooked chicken, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, salt, & enchilada sauces. Let sauce simmer for about 8-10 minutes.



Add cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and heated through. Now toss in the sour cream, but whatever you do, DO NOT bring to a boil! Cook on low heat or the sour cream will curdle. Gross. Stir until sour cream is well mixed and heated through.



O.M.G. Just wait. It gets better. Drain pasta & return to pot. Pour sauce over pasta and mix well. Serve and garnish with avocado, tomato, green onion, and a dollop of sour cream.



GET.OUT!!!!

The absolute YUMMIEST thing I’ve put in my mouth. Hands down. It was like a symphony of flavors in my mouth, y’all. DANG GOOD!!!

I’m usually not one for adding extra toppings {other than cheese} to my pasta, but now I can’t imagine eating it any other way! AMAZING!!! Pinky promise you’ll try this soon because I really don’t want you to miss out!!! Your taste buds will thank you…and so will your husband ;)
