About the Recipe

Experience the taste of Mexico with Chicken Enchiladas. Each tortilla is filled with succulent chicken, infused with aromatic spices, then covered in a rich, slightly spicy enchilada sauce. The melted cheese creates a delicious, bubbly topping.

This is a great recipe to swap out any vegetables for different ones.

If you want to make it vegetarian, swap the chicken for some tofu - marinade and cook as per the chicken. And for vegan, replace the cheese for a vegan alternative.
