Add onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add chicken and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano; mix around until well combined.
Stir in Enchilada sauce - you can use more sauce if you like, or if it looks too dry - and continue to cook for 3 minutes.
