Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6, take your 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 small drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add your free range chicken breast portion[s] with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3 min on each side or until browned

Once browned, add your ground cumin with a couple of splashes of cold water to the pan and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Once cooked through, transfer to a clean board and shred it apart, using two forks (reserve the pan) – this technique is known as 'pulling'
While the chicken is cooking, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with a small drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the sliced red onion and chopped garlic and cook for 4-5 min or until softened

Meanwhile, boil a kettle

Once the onion and garlic have softened, add your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and tomato paste to the pan with your chicken stock mix and chipotle paste and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water and cook for 5 min or until a thick sauce remains – this is your chipotle sauce
While the sauce is thickening, drain and rinse your black beans and sweetcorn

Transfer 1/3 of the chipotle sauce to a medium-sized pot – this is your enchilada topping
Add the drained black beans, drained sweetcorn and pulled chicken to the pan with the remaining chipotle sauce and give it a good mix up – this is your enchilada filling
Return the pot with the enchilada topping to a high heat for 2-3 min or until the sauce has thickened to a double cream consistency

Divide the enchilada filling between your tortillas
Roll up each tortilla tightly and place them in an oven-proof dish (or two!)
Top with the enchilada topping and tear your cheeze flavour slice[s] over the top
Put the dish[es] in the oven for 12-15 min or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheeze has melted – these are your lighter cheezy chipotle free range chicken enchiladas

Serve the lighter cheezy chipotle free range chicken enchiladas
Enjoy!
