Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C (fan)/ gas 4, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air and boil half a kettle

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

Once hot, add your diced chicken thigh with a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until browned

Step 1
2.

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

Slice half your green chilli[es] into rounds and finely chop the remaining

Crush your garlic open by squashing it with the side of a knife and discard the skins

Step 2
3.

Once browned, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 min on or until slightly softened

Drain your sweetcorn

Step 3
4.

Once the onion has softened, add your ground smoked paprika, ground cumin, tomato paste, chicken stock mix and drained sweetcorn with 50ml [75ml] [100ml] boiled water

Cook for 2-3 min further, or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the sauce has slightly thickened – this is your chicken & sweetcorn filling

Step 4
5.

Chop your coriander roughly

Add the chopped coriander, crushed garlic and chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to a pestle & mortar with a pinch of salt and bash into a smooth paste

Stir the coriander paste through your soured cream – this is your enchiladas suizas sauce

Tip: If you don't have a pestle & mortar, chop the coriander very finely and mix with the salt and soured cream in a bowl!

Step 5
6.

Grate your cheddar cheese

Step 6
7.

Divide the chicken & sweetcorn filling between your tortillas

Roll each tortilla up and arrange them in an oven-proof dish

Top with the enchiladas suizas sauce and grated cheese

Put the dish in the oven and cook for 15-20 min or until the cheese has melted – these are your chicken thigh enchiladas suizas

Step 7

Serve the chicken thigh enchiladas suizas

Garnish with the reserved chilli rounds (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!)

Enjoy!
