These are delicious and so easy. I came up with them when my husband and I were trying to lose weight. Troy was really craving enchiladas so I was trying to figure out a way to satisfy that craving in a healthy way. That's why there is a question mark because I don't know what to call them. All I know is they are super healthy and super yummy.
Make chicken the same way you would with the enchiladas. In a crock pot add chicken breasts, cilantro, onion and green enchilada sauce. Cook until tender enough to shred with a fork
Bake Corn tortillas on a cookie sheet 400 degrees for 8 minutes. I hated the texture of corn tortillas so I baked them to make them like a chip. The crunch from tortillas in this gives you the feeling you are eating something naughty!!
Flip tortillas and cook another 8 minutes. You can see the tortillas shrink as they bake
While Tortillas are baking cut up tomato, avocado and lime
Bake until tortillas are brown and crunchy.
Add shredded chicken, avocado, tomato slice and squeeze some lime juice on top. Don't forget the lime I think it's the key ingredient to setting these over the top. I also added fresh chopped cilantro to mine last night and I loved it.

Grocery tip: I try to plan my meals to get the most of the ingredients I buy. Since you are buying corn tortillas for these you should plan to make enchiladas another night. Double the chicken mixture for time savings. Or try Indian Chicken
