Instructions

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat high. Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, add the chicken to the pan. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken, evenly coating each piece. Cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the enchilada sauce and diced tomatoes and green chiles to the pan. Stir to combine and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle the cheese over top and heat until melted.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, garlic powder and lime juice together.
Divide the chicken mixture evenly between 4 bowls. To each bowl, drizzle over a little extra enchilada sauce, add a dollop of the sour cream sauce to the center of the bowl and top with pico de gallo, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedges.
