| This is an easy enchiladas recipe and is absolutely scrumptious. This easy enchiladas recipe has become a firm family favourite with my three children. Wraps are the new trendy food and enchiladas are very popular with children. It’s a great way to sneak some extra veggies into their diet. An Enchilada is a Mexican dish where you fill a tortilla with a variety of fillings such as shredded chicken, beef, vegetables or beans, then cover with a sauce and some grated cheese. The filled tortillas are then baked in the oven until cooked and the cheese is melted and golden. This is my favourite enchilada recipe – you can make it with minced chicken or turkey. | ||

To make a tasty vegetarian enchilada. Sauté a red onion with half a red pepper in a little olive oil until softened. Add a small tin of sweetcorn (198g), cook for 2 minutes, then add a tablespoon each of balsamic vinegar and honey and cook for one minute. Spread four small tortillas with a tablespoon of mild salsa or some tomato sauce, arrange the corn filling on one half of the tortilla , sprinkle over some grated Cheddar, roll up, scatter over some more Cheddar and grill for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted. |
Ingredients8 flour tortillas, about 19cm (7 ½ in diameter) Tomato Sauce Chicken Filling Method:To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes, until thick. Season with a little salt and pepper and blend until smooth. For the chicken filling, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok, stir in the garlic, onion, pepper and courgette. Cook for 5 minutes then add the chicken, stirring occasionally and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked through.

Roll the tortillas up and put in the dish, seam side down. Spoon over the sauce then sprinkle on the remaining cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the filling is hot and the cheese has melted.
