Ingredients
For 4 portions
- 8 8 inch wheat tortilla
- 400g chicken breast (raw, boneless)
- 1 can (drained) black beans, canned
- 1 medium onions
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 can canned tomatoes
- 1 Tsp chilli powder
- 1 Tsp cumin powder
- 4 portions cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C.
- Slice the chicken into strips. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken with the chilli powder and cumin for 5–6 minutes until just cooked. Add the chopped onion and sliced red pepper; cook for another 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in the drained black beans and warm through. Season to taste.
- Blitz or crush the canned tomatoes into a smooth sauce; season lightly.
- Warm the tortillas briefly so they are pliable. Spoon the chicken filling down the centre of each, roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Pour the tomato sauce over the enchiladas and scatter the grated cheddar evenly on top.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the tortillas are lightly golden. Serve hot.
