Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper washed, deseeded and sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper washed, deseeded and sliced
- 1 lb chicken thigh fillet skinless and boneless, cubed or sliced
- 10 oz corn kernels washed and drained, canned
- 1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika sweet
- 1 pinch salt only if needed to your tastes, to season
- 14 oz condensed tomato soup or enchilada sauce, canned
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese divided, grated light or low fat
- 5 flour tortillas cut in half to make 10 pieces, regular sized
- 1 tem shallot finely chopped, or green onion
- 1 handful cilantro chopped, optional, or coriander
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C℃ | 390℉.
- Pan fry onion and capsicums/peppers in on a nonstick pan/skillet until onion becomes transparent. Add the chicken and fry until browned. Pour the tomato soup/sauce over the chicken, reduce heat, cover pan and allow to simmer until chicken begins to soften (about 20 minutes). Add corn, stock powder, cumin, garlic and paprika, and stir through mixture.
- Once chicken is cooked, begin to layer your enchilada bake!
Layers:
- Spoon ⅓ of the chicken enchilada sauce into the base of a 30cm x 19cm (12" x 7.5") oven proof baking/casserole dish. Sprinkle ⅓ of the grated cheese over the chicken. Place 5 halves of the tortillas over the cheese, overlapping them to cover as much of the cheese as possible. Repeat layer with chicken/sauce, cheese, and tortillas; with the final layer of chicken/sauce topped with remaining cheese.
- Change oven settings to grill/broil on medium heat and place dish into the oven. Bake until cheese has melted and browned!
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with shallots/green onions, cilantro/coriander and a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
- Once the bake has cooled serve quickly to prevent soggy tortillas.
- When reheating left overs I prefer to use the oven for crispy results and even temperature throughout the serving (no cold middle).
