How To Make Enchiladas

This easy enchilada recipe is so versatile, you can adapt it to suit a whole range of dietary needs. For making vegetable enchiladas, use beans instead of meat. For a vegan-friendly alternative, use vegan cheese and swap out the butter for olive spread and the sour cream for a vegan alternative.

What you'll need:

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of butter
170g chopped onion
4 cloves of minced garlic
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
1 tablespoon of pickled jalapeño pepper slices
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
475ml of chicken stock
8 flour tortillas
Salt and pepper
225g sour cream
170g cheddar cheese
Grilled thinly sliced chicken

To Garnish:

Chopped coriander
Finely chopped tomatoes
Sliced spring onions
Optional: Finely chopped jalapeños

Method:

The Sauce:

Start by making the sauce for your easy enchiladas. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and melt your butter. Once melted, add onions, garlic, coriander, salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, begin to stir in your flour, pickled jalapeños and sour cream. Once mixed, add these ingredients to your saucepan and combine with the onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the chicken stock on a high heat and whisk until thickened for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

The Filling:

Preheat your oven to 200° C. Brush a large, shallow baking tray with sunflower oil Before lining up your tray with tortillas, ready to be filled.
Put your chicken into a mixing bowl and stir ¾ of your sauce in to make your filling, ensuring all sauce is mixed in well.
Place your filling evenly across each of your three tortillas in your baking tray, roll up and place seam side down.
Once all tortillas are filled, use your remaining sauce to drizzle over your tortillas.
Cover your baking tray with foil and bake for 30 minutes until piping hot. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven, and leave to stand for ten minutes before serving.
