Tasty Mexican BBQ Chicken Enchilada Recipe
BBQ Chicken Tortilla Bake
This cheesy, saucy, BBQ chicken dish is a great alternative to fajitas for those tortilla wraps lurking in your cupboard! Plus, it's a great dish to prepare ahead of time and then bake when you're ready. Our recipe below will take about an hour to prepare and cook and should serve four.
What You'll Need
- 2 finely chopped onions
- 1 finely chopped garlic clove
- 3 diced peppers
- Mexican spice mix (Old El Paso or Discover packs are fine)
- A large jar of passata
- 8 tortillas
- 350g BBQ flavoured, pre-cooked chicken
- 1 chopped red chilli
- 75g grated cheddar cheese
- BBQ sauce
How to Cook It
- Preheat your oven to around 160°C.
- Add a glug of olive oil to a heavy-bottomed frying pan and throw in your onions, garlic, peppers, chilli, and a pinch of your spice mix. Cook until soft.
- Pour the passata into your pan along with the remaining spices. Simmer over medium heat for five minutes.
- Lay out your tortillas and place a small amount of chicken into the middle of each. Top with your tomato and vegetable mix, a small sprinkling of cheese, then roll them up and place into an ovenproof dish.
- Once all 8 of your tortillas have been added to your dish, pour the remaining tomato and vegetable mix directly on top of the tortillas.
- Squeeze over a good dollop of BBQ sauce and your remaining cheese.
- Cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese and tortillas are golden.
Freshen Things Up
If you would like to freshen your dish up a little, try adding some crème fraîche to the top of your enchiladas and serving on a bed of lettuce. This will ensure your enchiladas aren't too stodgy but are still delicious!
