1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray your Bundt pan with a nonstick cooking spray, or lightly coat with olive oil.
2. Heat olive oil in a medium pan and saute onions, garlic, bell pepper and green chilies.
3. Add taco seasoning mix. Use 2 teaspoons if you like it spicier or 1 teaspoon if you like it milder.
4. Add chopped cooked chicken to the saucepan and mix well.
5. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese, leaving 1/2 cup of cheese to the side for later use.
6. Mix cornbread boxes with milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Pour half of your cornbread mixture into the bottom of the greased Bundt pan.
7. Place your chicken mixture into the middle of the cornbread layer. Try to keep the filling away from the edges of the pan.
8. Pour the rest of the cornbread mix on top of the chicken. Use a spatula to even it out across the top of the Bundt pan. Make sure there aren't pieces of chicken mix sticking out of the cornbread mix.
9. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
10. Flip over onto a plate. Pour the enchilada sauce over the bread. Top with cheese and chopped green onions. Serve with salsa and sour cream if you desire.
Pro tip: Before you remove your Bundt bread from the pan by flipping it over, use a spatula to slide between the sides of the inner and outer rings of the pan. This will help it slide out more easily.
