Chicken and chickpea enchiladas
April 17th 2009 19:04
I had bought some wraps originally do make some pork mince burritos, but with a few changes in menu plans and some unexpected developments that never happened. So, when a craving for enchiladas hit me around lunch time, I knew that I had enough bits and pieces at home to make it happen.
1 packet tortillas
1 onion
2 chicken thigh fillets
½ can chickpeas (or around 200g if you are soaking your own – good for you it you do this!)
1 can chopped tomatoes
chilli powder
cheese
Saute onion and chicken in a little oil until almost browned. Add chickpeas and half the tin of tomatoes, along with some chilli powder – add as little or as much as you like here. We went somewhere in the middle, and it was a little too spicy for me, and not quite spicy enough for the boy.
Once the chicken is cooked through, spoon a little of the mixture into the tortillas and then fold them around the mixture. Repeat until you have used all the tortillas and all the filling. In a perfect world both of these things would happen at once – however, it probably won't – so eat the extra filling if need be. Pour the remainder of the tomatoes on top and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve with a simple garden salad.
