Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients

• 1x Chicken Stir-Fry 500g
• 1x Enchilada Kit
• 1x Mainland Grated Tasty Cheese
• 1x Onion
• 1x Red Capsicum

Instructions

1. Step 1 — Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a medium baking dish — this is where your enchiladas will bake to golden, cheesy perfection.
2. Step 2 — Cook the chicken and vegetables. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sliced capsicum and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the chicken stir-fry strips and cook for a further 4–5 minutes, tossing regularly, until cooked through and lightly golden. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
3. Step 3 — Add the sauce. Pour roughly half the enchilada sauce from the kit into the chicken and vegetable mixture and stir to combine. The sauce coats the filling and keeps the enchiladas moist and flavourful all the way through.
4. Step 4 — Fill the tortillas. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous line of the chicken filling down the centre. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling until the dish is full.
5. Step 5 — Top and bake. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Scatter the Mainland Grated Tasty Cheese generously over the top — don't be shy, the cheesy topping is the best part. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling.
6. Step 6 — Serve. Remove from the oven and serve straight from the baking dish. Add a dollop of sour cream from the fridge if you have it and serve immediately.
7. TIPS & VARIATIONS
8. Pack the filling: Don't be shy with the filling — a generously stuffed enchilada is far more satisfying than a skimpy one. Use every bit of the chicken mixture.
9. Extra cheesy: Add a layer of cheese inside the tortilla before rolling as well as on top for an even more indulgent result.
10. Make it a spread: Serve with a simple green salad or a bowl of Wattie's Chilli Beans on the side to round out the meal — both available at Paddock to Pantry.
