Makes: 8 x Enchiladas
Cook Time: 50-55 Minutes
Allergen's: Gluten & Dairy
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 boneless chicken breasts
400g (14 oz) tin kidney beans
400g (14 oz) tin diced tomatoes
Handful of fresh coriander, chopped
Salt* and pepper, to taste
8 tortilla wraps
150g (1 ½ cups) Cheddar, grated
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a shallow baking dish with baking paper.
- In a large frying pan, heat half the olive oil and add the chicken. Cook for 8-10 minutes each side, or until the chicken is cooked through, and then set aside to cool.
- Once chicken is cooled, shred it by either using a fork or stand mixer.
- In the same frying pan, add the remaining olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until onion is softened.
- Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, coriander and salt and pepper, if using and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add in the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
- To make the enchiladas, spread a few spoonfuls of the chicken and bean mixture onto each tortilla and wrap it up tightly.
- Place each enchilada into the baking dish. Top all enchiladas with a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
To Freeze:
Wrap each enchilada in tin foil before storing in the freezer.
To Defrost:
Take the enchilada out of the tin foil and heat in the oven for 10 minutes or until completely warmed through. Let cool before serving.
For Baby 6 months+
