Instructions
  1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: When oil is hot, add the shredded chicken to the skillet, cooking until it’s browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  4. Flavorful Mix: Pour in the tomato paste, the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth. Mix everything well to combine.
  5. Simmering Time: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat.
  6. Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle both cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses over the top, covering the skillet to let the cheese melt for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Final Touch: Once melted, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve promptly with optional avocado slices and sour cream if desired.
