Chicken Enchiladas

Nothing says Fiesta quite like chicken enchiladas. They demand open windos and sunny rays streaming in, they really want chatter and a bit of music and they are so good that for once, you might forget about the dishes and dance the night away instead. Fun to make and even more fun to eat, here at Unislim, we adore our chicken enchiladas. The whole family loves them and they're the perfect Friday night treat to help you ease into the weekend and brush that week away. Do try and cube the veg as small as you can for this dish, since the chicken is minced (ask your butcher to mince it for you if necessary), it will make for a much more delicious affair if everything is roughly the same size. This is very much a "if you've got the time and energy and a sharp knife for it" step. No biggie if you're not too bothered. Life is short enough after all! Because the chicken enchiladas are made with chicken mince, this recipe makes for a soft and comforting bite. The tomatoes keep it juicy and the tortillas give it just the carbs you need to fill full without being completely bloated. The only slight challenge with this dish is that you will have to wait a couple of minutes for the dish to cool slightly down so the gorgeous melted cheese doesn't take away the roof of your mouth! Best problem in the world, if you ask us!

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • To make the sauce, heat the pan with low cal spray oil. Add the garlic and onion and fry them until softened but not brown. You will need to stir them constantly to obtain this result.
  • Add the tinned tomatoes, oregano, and black pepper. Cover the pan and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the low cal spray oil in another pan for the chicken. Add onion, garlic, pepper and courgette and fry together for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken mince and cook until it is starting to brown a bit. Do stir consistently so the bits don’t clump together.
  • Switch off the heat, add half the cheese to the chicken and veg and mix well.
  • Divide the filling into 4 separate tortillas and fold it into parcels (burrito styles maybe). Cover with the sauce and remaining cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden.
