Ingredients
  

  • 1 rotisserie chicken shredded (no skin or bones)
  • 1 bunch of dino or lacinto kale chopped finely
  • 3 scallions sliced
  • 4 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 packs of Siete almond or cassava flour tortillas
  • 1 jar sliced black olives
  • 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional: cilantro avocado, radishes, cabbage, for topping
  • Pumpkin Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 jar of Siete red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375
  • In a blender, add the Enchilada Sauce ingredients and blend. Pour into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a large skillet set to medium-low, add the olive oil, scallions, and kale and saute for about 5-7 minutes. Add a dash of salt and pepper and mix.
  • Then, add in the shredded chicken, sour cream, and cream cheese. Mix well until the sour cream and cream cheese is melted into the chicken creating a creamy mixture. Turn heat off and remove from heat.
  • In an 8X8 dish, spray or lightly grease. Add about 1/4 cup of the sauce and spread out evenly.
  • Dip each tortilla into the pumpkin enchilada sauce and layer the bottom layer. They may overlap. (I ended up using about 3 tortillas per layer and cutting one to fit) It doesn't have to fit perfectly just as long as the bottom is covered.
  • Next, spread the chicken mixture on top. Add about 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese.
  • Then, dip another couple of tortillas into the enchilada sauce and create another layer. Add the remaining chicken, then the cheese.
  • Add one more layer of the tortillas dipped in the enchilada sauce. Add a layer of cheese then the sliced olives.
  • Cover with foil or parchment paper and bake for about 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve with cilantro, sour cream, cabbage, radishes, and/or sliced avocado.
