Rotisserie chicken enchiladas

vegetable oil

flour

tsp chili powder

tsp cumin

oregano

salt

chicken stock

sugar

tomato puree ((Any smooth tomato sauce/Passata/Puree will work))

onion (finely chopped)

red bell pepper (finely chopped)

garlic (crushed)

rotisserie chicken (shredded)

beans

tsp enchilada spice

red pepper / chilli flakes

lemon juice

black pepper (to taste)

cilantro/coriander

grated cheese

flour tortillas

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.

To make the sauce, heat the oil in a pot then whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then add the spices and tomato sauce.

Whisk in the stock until the sauce is smooth. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is smooth, thick and flour is cooked out. Season with salt and sugar (optional).

To make the filling, saute the onion, garlic, peppers in a large frying pan until the vegetables are cooked and starting to caramelize.

Add the chicken, beans and seasoning and saute for another 5-7 minutes.

Place a few spoonfuls of the filling onto the tortillas and roll up the tortilla.

Place the enchiladas into a casserole dish. Spoon over the sauce, ensuring the tortillas are completely covered.

Sprinkle over the cheese then place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are hot and bubbling.

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving with avocado, cilantro and lime.

Going to Make this tonight.looks easy and good..

I LOVE this recipe!! I omit the chiles because I have little ones. But my partner and I put pickled jalapeños individually. This is a great meal I can do on busy work nights. I adjusted the temp because my oven isn’t great.

This was really good and easy to prepare because I had leftover cooked chicken.

Wow! What a great recipe. Thank you. I made it tonight and my husband said he wanted to eat the whole pan. My daughter that is pretty picky said yum this chicken is good. Finally I found a recipe on Pinterest that is spot on. Following Julie now. Also sent the recipe to my siblings.

This is SO GOOD and a our regular dinner rotation! Last night I went to make it and couldn't find the recipe (I'm old school and print out recipes) and I hadn't pinned it! I was so upset. But, I've made it so many times I decided to make it from memory and it turned out great. The hubs couldn't tell the difference. Then I got online this morning and scoured the internet to find it and pin it. So glad I was able to track it down!

Had these for dinner tonight with salsa   Yum !!    Delicious !!   Will be making these again and again.    Thank you :)
