Ingredients
- 7 tortilla wraps
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Grated Red Leicester Cheese
- 1 cup black beans
For the enchilada sauce
- 500 ml tomato passata
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cups chicken broth/stock
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder
Instructions
- To make the sauce, heat up the oil in a pan, add the flour and whisk well to avoid lumps forming.
- Add the tomato passata together with the oregano, cumin, garlic granules, salt, pepper and chilli powder.
- Give it a good stir, then pour in the stock and tomato paste.
- Leave it to simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- In an ovenproof dish, pour in a quarter of the sauce, and spread it all over the bottom of the dish.
- On a tortilla wrap, add a tablespoon of sauce, and spread it well, keeping the edges clean.
- Add a handful of chicken, cheese and beans, and roll.
- Repeat with the remaining wraps, arranging them onto the dish.
- Pour over the wraps the remaining sauce, and top with the remaining cheese and beans.
- Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are bubbling hot.
Notes
- Leftover chicken is just one idea, any other leftover meat can be used, especially if, like me, you enjoy a good Sunday Roast: leftover beef, pork or ham.
- Apart from black beans, which are so yummy, any other beans would work, plus sweetcorn, chickpeas, or a combination of them.
- As for cheese, I am a big fan of the cheddar cheese and red Leicester, but any other hard cheese would work.
