Cheesy Chipotle Double Chicken Breast Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6, then take the chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add your chicken strips with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3 min on each side or until browned

(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)

Once browned, add your ground cumin, dried oregano and a couple splashes of cold water to the pan and cook, covered, for a further 10-12 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer to a clean board (reserve the pan) and shred it apart, using two forks - this technique is known as 'pulling'

Boil a kettle

Return the pan to a medium heat and add 20g [30g] [40g] butter

Once the butter has melted, add the sliced red onion and chopped garlic and cook for 4-5 min or until softened

Once softened, add 15g [25g] [30g] flour and your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and stir with a wooden spoon for 3-4 min or until a paste forms – this is your roux

Add your tomato paste, chicken stock mix and chipotle paste (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!)

Gradually whisk in 400ml [520ml] [680ml] boiled water, a little at a time, and cook for 5 min (stirring occasionally) or until a smooth, thick sauce remains – this is your chipotle sauce

Meanwhile, drain and rinse your black beans

Remove 1/3 of the chipotle sauce to a small pot – this is your enchilada topping

Add the drained black beans and pulled chicken to the remaining sauce in the pan and give it a good mix up – this is your chicken & black bean filling

Reheat the enchilada topping over a high heat for 2-3 min or until the sauce has thickened to a double cream consistency

Meanwhile, grate your cheddar cheese

Trim and slice your spring onion[s] finely

Grease an oven-proof dish with a little vegetable oil

Divide the chicken & black bean filling between your tortillas

Roll each tortilla up and place them in the oven-proof dish

Top with the enchilada topping and grated cheese

Put the dish in the oven for 12-15 min or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese has melted – these are your cheesy chipotle chicken enchiladas
