Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cans red enchilada sauce 10 oz. per can
12 ounces cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup Mexican cheese shredded, for filling
12 soft corn tortillas standard 6-inch diameter
1 cup Mexican cheese shredded, for top
cilantro finely chopped, optional, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Place the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and 3/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.
  • Place a few tortillas on a dinner plate and warm in the microwave until pliable, 20-30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of a tortilla. Gently roll the enchilada and place it seam-side down in the sauced casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
  • Cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Bake the enchiladas on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the foil and continue baking until edges are bubbling and cheese on top is slightly golden brown, 7-10 minutes.
  • Check to see that enchiladas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
  • Allow enchiladas to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Chicken enchiladas image

Mildly spicy and satisfying, these easy enchiladas stuffed with refried beans, onion and red pepper will be popular with the whole family

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tbsp olive oil
2 red onions, sliced
2 red peppers, sliced
3 red chillies, 2 deseeded and chopped, 1 sliced
small bunch coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves roughly chopped - plus extra to serve (optional)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp cumin seeds
6 skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks
415g can refried beans (we used Discovery)
198g can sweetcorn, drained
700ml bottle passata
1 tsp golden caster sugar
10 tortillas
2 x 142ml pots soured cream
200g cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in your largest pan, then fry the onions, peppers, chopped chilli and coriander stalks with half the garlic for 10 mins until soft. Stir in 2 tsp ground coriander and 2 tsp cumin seeds, then fry for 1 min more. Meanwhile, in another frying pan, fry the chicken in the remaining oil, in batches, until browned - add it to the pan of veg as it is done.
  • Stir the beans, sweetcorn, coriander leaves and 150ml of the passata into the veg and chicken. In a bowl, mix the rest of the passata with the other crushed garlic clove, the remaining spices and the sugar, then set aside.
  • To assemble, lay the tortillas onto a board and divide the chicken mixture between them, folding over the ends and rolling up to seal. Divide the passata sauce into the dishes you are using, then top with the enchiladas. Dot over the soured cream, sprinkle with grated cheese and scatter with the sliced chilli.
  • Cool and freeze (see freezing tips, below) or, if eating straight away, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then bake for 30 mins, scattering with more coriander leaves to serve, if you like.
