Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (finely diced)
6 chicken thigh fillets (skinned and cut into strips)
2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1 tbsp cumin
½ tsp Oregano (Dried herb)
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
300 ml tomato puree (Or Passata)
1 cup chicken stock (250ml)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
½ cup corn (frozen or fresh)
8 tortilla (Wholegrain)
½ cup Sour Cream
½ cup Cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 180'C / 350'F. Prep a large baking tray by rubbing a little olive oil on the base (you can use parchment paper to make clean up easier).
  • Heat up a large pot on the stove top. Add olive oil and diced onions. Cook until softened (around 5 minutes). Add chicken pieces, salt and pepper. Fry until juices have evaporated and chicken starts to brown.
  • Add cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic. Fry for around one minutes, stiring to coat chicken evenly with spices.
  • Pour in stock, tomato puree, beans and corn. Cover pot and allow to simmer on medium for 10-15 minutes until chicken is tender and sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat. Use a colander to drain the sauce from the chicken and set sauce and chicken filling aside. DO NOT THROW SAUCE AWAY.
  • Soften your tortillas by wrapping in foil and heating in the oven for a couple minutes. This makes them easier to work with.
  • Spread a teaspoon sour cream on each tortilla and spoon chicken and bean filling on top along the center. Roll up your tortilla and place seam side down in your baking tray. Repeat until all 8 tortillas are done.
  • Spoon strained enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top with grated cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden and serve.

HEALTHIER CHICKEN ENCHILADAS I



Healthier Chicken Enchiladas I image

I've always liked this recipe because it is quick and easy. I'm always looking for ways to cut out excess fat so I use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream. I also like to add fiber to make the meal a little healthier for my family so I add black beans and some bell peppers. This also adds color! To make it super healthy I use whole-wheat flour tortillas. And it still tastes just as delicious!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 onion, chopped
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
⅓ cup chopped green bell pepper
⅓ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 (10 inch) whole wheat flour tortillas
1 (12 ounce) jar taco sauce
¾ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook chicken in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain excess fat. Cube chicken and return to skillet. Add onion, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, and ground black pepper. Heat until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Stir in salt, tomato sauce, water, chili powder, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, and black beans.
  • Roll even amounts of mixture into tortillas. Arrange in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with taco sauce and 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake uncovered in preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
