Chicken Enchiladas
I’m not sure if I’ve posted this before but as I’ve just cooked them I thought I’d mention it again. Chicken Enchiladas. Kind of like Fajitas but much more filling!
Per Person:
1 chicken breast, cut into strips
1 red pepper or half red and half green
1 small onion sliced into strips
Schwartz Fajita seasoning
2 Tortillas (old el paso seem the best)
Tub of Salsa
Grated cheddar cheese
Sour cream to cool it down
Fry the chicken on a hot heat until it’s sealed/cooked on all sides, add the peppers and onion and a good dousing of fajita seasoning. Once the peppers start to soften a little take it off the heat.
In a casserole dish curl the tortillas in so that the ends are sticking up (the tortillas need about 2″ of space so that you can put the filling in and then curl the sides over the top of the filling ‘closing’ them). Put the hot filling in. Close the tortillas over and put the salsa on top covering the tortillas. Then put the grated cheese on top.
Put in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for 10-15 minutes. Serve with Sour cream and a cold drink.
For extra oomph add some more fajita seasoning over the top of the cheese or chop up a couple of chilli peppers and add that whilst cooking the chicken.

i tried this the other day, but i did it differently. i left out the fajita seasoning, and the sour cream, and when the peppers started to soften, i put some Old El Paso enchilada sauce in with it, and left it to cook for 10 minutes. it came out quite well considering i’d never done it before.
