Make

Turn on the oven’s broiler.
Heat large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add first part of oil. To hot oil, add chicken and saute until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, ~4 minutes. Set aside and return skillet to heat.
Add second part of oil to skillet. To hot oil, add onions and kale. Saute until both onions and kale are very tender. Add enchilada sauce, chopped tortillas, beans, chicken and half the cheese to the skillet. Gently stir to combine. Top with remaining half the cheese.
Place skillet under the broiler and cook until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, ~3 minutes (watch it closely to prevent burning).
Divide enchiladas between serving bowls and top with sour cream and cilantro. Enjoy!
