Provided by Ali

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
1 small white onion, peeled and diced
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into small 1/2-inch pieces
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 large flour tortillas
3 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese
1 batch red enchilada sauce
optional toppings: fresh cilantro, chopped red onions, diced avocado, sour cream, and/or crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare your enchilada sauce.
  • In large sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add diced chicken and green chiles, and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté the mixture for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add in the beans and stir until evenly combined. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, set up an assembly line including: tortillas, enchilada sauce, chicken mixture, and cheese. Lay out a tortilla, and spread two tablespoons of sauce over the surface of the tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in a line down the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up tortilla and place in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Assemble the remaining enchiladas. Then spread any remaining sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas, followed by any extra cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until the enchiladas are cooked through and the tortillas are slightly crispy on the outside. Transfer the baking dish to a wire baking rack.
  • Serve the enchiladas immediately while they're nice and hot and melty, garnished with lots of fresh toppings. Enjoy!

CHICKEN EGG ROLL ENCHILADAS

I wanted to make up a batch of something to have something to warm up when I didn't have time to fuss, put some in the freezer and yet have something healthy. Aha I thought, I have some cooked chicken and some egg roll wraps so I came up with this recipe. You can serve them plain, with some Szechuan sauce or even salsa - it's up to you. I loved them plain. They will make great appetizers too. Hope you enjoy them! I said optional to the chillies and hot sauce, but for me the recipe would be bland without, so use as much or as little as you like. Substitute the chicken with seafood roast or whatever leftovers you have. To freeze: Prepare rolls as directed through step 2. Place on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between the rolls. Place in freezer and freeze until firm. Transfer to a large freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze. To serve: Bake rolls from frozen as directed in directions.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded)
1 cup fresh bean sprout
3/4 cup fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup leek, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, grated
2 chilies, chopped (optional, but I say use them)
1 -2 tablespoon hot sauce (I used Denzil's Kamakazi) (optional)
salt & pepper
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
24 egg roll wraps

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients except egg roll wraps together.
  • Put 2 to 2 1/2 tbsp of filling in each wrap, fold in the sides and then flip up the top and bottom or do your conventional egg roll fold.
  • Line a 9x13 oven proof pan with release Foil or lightly spray with oil and place the rolls side by side, single layer.
  • I managed to get 20 into the dish and then foil wrapped the remaining 4 and put them in the freezer uncooked.
  • Mist the tops of the egg rolls with oil (I like to use lite olive oil). Bake in 350°F oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden on top, flip the rolls to brown the bottoms mist the bottoms as well with oil and continue baking for a further 20 minutes (approx).
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.
