Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 180◦C conventional (160◦C fan forced). Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook onion, garlic over a medium heat for 5 minutes or until onion are soft. Add the chicken, water, Enchilada Sauce & bay leaf. Simmer over medium to low heat for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from sauce and shred using 2 forks. Return shredded chicken to Enchilada Sauce.
  2. For deliciously warm and soft Tortillas follow on pack instructions.
  3. Heat a little more oil in pan , cook remaining garlic, capsicum & chilli over a medium heat for 3 minutes or until capsicum is just soft. Combine cooked capsicum mixture, tomatoes and cream in a food processor and blend to form a red Enchilada sauce.
  4. Place 2 large spoons of chicken mixture into centre of each Tortilla, and roll to create a tube. Place folded side up in lightly greased oven proof dish. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas. Top with red Enchilada sauce and bocconcini. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Enjoy with a fresh side salad – we suggest using your choice of salad greens and baby tomatoes.
