Homemade GYG-style enchiladas baked under melted cheese with salsa, sour cream and guacamole

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Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs).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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Let the baked enchiladas stand 2 minutes before topping, so the cheese sets and the rolls hold their shape.
  5. 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.
