  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, and blended cottage cheese. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  • Add tortilla strips and gently fold them into the mixture to soak up the sauce.
  • Sprinkle cheese over the top. Cover with a lid until melted, or place under a broiler for 2–3 minutes for a bubbly golden finish.
  • Top with chopped cilantro or green onions and serve hot.
