Cooking Steps

Make enchilada sauce
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • In a medium pot, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter over medium.
  • When butter is melted, sprinkle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) flour over top, then stir to coat.
  • Whisk in 1 cup (2 cups) water and Tex-Mex paste. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cook for 4-6 min, stirring often, until enchilada sauce thickens slightly.
  • Remove from heat.
Prep and make lime crema
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 servings).
  • Core, then cut pepper in to 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. 
  • To a small bowl, add sour cream and as much lime zest as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. 
Cook filling
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high (high heat for 4 servings). 
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Break up chicken into smaller pieces.
  • Add onions and half the peppers. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring until veggies soften and no pink remains in chicken.**
  • Stir in half the enchilada sauce, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Assemble and broil enchiladas
4
  • Lightly oil an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 servings) with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • On a clean work surface, divide chicken filling between tortillas.
  • Roll up to close enchiladas and place, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish.
  • Drizzle remaining sauce over top, then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven, until cheese melts and edges are slightly crispy, 3-6 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on enchiladas so they don't burn.) 
  • Let enchiladas rest for 5 min before serving.
Make salad
5
  • While enchiladas rest, to a large bowl, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. 
  • Add spinach and remaining peppers, then toss to combine. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide enchiladas between plates.
  • Top with lime crema and salsa, if you like. 
  • Serve salad alongside.
