- 1 12 ounce can or jar red enchilada sauce
- 1 can diced green chiles

- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425° F
2. In a large oven-safe skillet, combine the onion, chicken, smoked paprika, chipotle peppers, enchilada sauce, green chiles, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily

4. Arrange the tortillas over the chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted
5. Meanwhile, make the corn salad. Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey, jalapeño, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Add the corn, avocado, cilantro, and pepperoncini. Toss to combine
6. Serve the enchiladas with the corn salad, Greek yogurt or sour cream, Cotija cheese, and pickled red onions
