Chicken Enchiladas

Gratinert enchiladas with chicken, tomato sauce and melted cheese. Pure tex-mex comfort food that hits the spot every time.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, then cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan with cumin and chili powder until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Preheat your oven to 200°C. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.

  4. 4

    Spread a thin layer of the seasoned tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place about 3 tablespoons of shredded chicken down the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.

  5. 5

    Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they're well covered. Sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the top.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are lightly golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
