Method
-
Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan, add the chicken and cook quickly over a medium heat until cooked through and golden brown.
-
Return the onion and pepper mixture to the pan, add half of the enchilada sauce, and drained kidney beans, season well and cook for a further minute.
-
Lay the flour tortillas on the work surface and divide the chicken mixture between them. Roll the flour tortillas around the filling into cigars and arrange neatly and snuggly in an ovenproof dish (roughly 20 x 30cm). Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and scatter with grated cheese.
-
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is piping hot and the cheese bubbling, melted and golden-brown.
-
To serve, scatter with the spring onions and chopped coriander and serve with sliced avocado and soured cream alongside.
