Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons + 1 tsp unsalted butter or avocado oil (divided)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons flour (see notes for GF option)
- ⅔ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1, 4 ounce can mild diced green chiles
- ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or shredded chicken breast)
- 6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
- 1, 13.5 ounce can Great Northern beans
- ½ - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Ideas for toppings: diced jalapeño, minced cilantro, finely diced red onion, fresh lime, avocado
Instructions
- Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 tsp butter or oil. Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the veggies are softened. Place the veggies aside in a small bowl.
- Place the skillet back on the stove over medium low heat. Add the 2 tablespoons butter. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour. Once a paste has formed, slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Let the mixture begin to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Next, whisk in the cumin, salt, salsa verde, and diced green chiles. Let that simmer for 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the Greek yogurt or sour cream and whisk well.
- Next, fold in the chicken, tortillas, great northern beans, and cooked onion/bell pepper mixture.
- Once everything is mixed well, remove the pan from heat and top the chicken mixture with shredded cheese. You can either place the pan in the oven on the broil setting for a few minutes until the cheese melts (make sure you have an oven-safe skillet) or place a lid over the pan.
