Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 2 large flour tortillas (about 30 cm)
- 300 g chicken thigh fillets
- 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup (200 g) cooked white rice
- 400 g tin black beans, drained
- 1 cup (120 g) grated Jack cheese (or tasty cheese)
- ½ cup tomato salsa
- ½ cup guacamole
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ cup corn chips, lightly crushed
- Salt and cracked pepper
Method
- Rub the chicken with cumin, paprika, salt and oil. Grill or pan-fry 5–6 minutes per side, rest, then slice. Warm the beans with a pinch of cumin.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan 20 seconds per side. Roll each one up with rice, beans and chicken inside, and place seam-side down in an oiled baking dish.
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Spoon the salsa over the rolled burritos, scatter the cheese over the top, and bake 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Let the baked enchiladas stand 2 minutes before topping, so the cheese sets and the rolls hold their shape.
- Top with sour cream, guacamole and the crushed corn chips. Serve at once. Tip: bake them seam-side down in the dish — if the seam faces up it unrolls in the oven — and add the guacamole and chips after baking, or they go warm and soggy.
