Chicken Enchiladas

This is a tasty tortilla recipe stuffed with juicy succulent chicken with tangy salsa sauce. Great dinner recipe for kids.

Ingredients:


For the tortilla filling:


6-8 tortillas
3-4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1-2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese
1 onion, sliced finely
1 red pepper, slice finely
Salt and Pepper for seasoning


For the salsa:


2-3 tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1-2 chopped jalapenos
1-2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp paprika powder
juice of 1 lime
2-3 spring onions, chopped finely
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2-3 tbsp freshly chopped coriander


Method:


1. Preheat the grill to 200C.


2. Marinate the chicken strips with garlic and season with salt and pepper. Leave for 15-30 minutes.


3. In a frying pan heat some oil, fry the chicken. Add the onions and peppers, cook till chicken is tender.


4. For the salsa, mix all the ingredients, season well.


5. Heat a pan or griddle. Cook the tortilla on medium heat for about a minute each side. Keep the tortillas warm and pliable by wrapping in a clean dry tea towel.


6. Divide the chicken mix between the tortilla and roll up to form tight tubes.


7. Place the tortilla wraps tightly in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the salsa mix on top and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Crush some pepper on top.


8. Cook under the grill for 5-8 minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve with a side salad.
