Instructions

  • 1.   Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel and chop the onions. Wash and slice the peppers. Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes. Chop the garlic cloves (save one for the sauce).
  • 2.   In a sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then sauté the onions, add the peppers, then the chicken pieces and the garlic cloves for 5 minutes. Then add the spices and herbs as well as 4 tablespoons of tomato paste.
  • 3.   Wash the tomatoes, cut them into quarters and blend them. Add the equivalent of 2 blended tomatoes to the sauté pan, reserve the rest. Continue cooking until everything is cooked.
  • 4.   Prepare a tomato sauce: in a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the chopped garlic clove. Before the garlic browns, add 6 tablespoons of tomato paste and the remaining blended tomatoes. Add a little water if necessary, add salt, pepper, and diced chili pepper. Mix, cover, and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
  • 5.   Prepare the enchiladas: stuff the tortillas with the meat, roll them up and place them in a gratin dish. Cover with sauce, cheddar cheese, and bake for 30 minutes.
