Cooking Steps

Make enchilada sauce
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Heat a small pot over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then flour and half the Chili-Cumin Spice Blend. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often to combine.
  • Add 1 cup (2 cups) water, chicken stock powder and Tex-mex paste, whisking until smooth, 1 min. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 4-6 min, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly. (TIP: Cook sauce a little longer if you prefer a thicker enchilada sauce.)
  • Remove from heat.
Prep and cook veggies
2
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Peel, then cut the onion into 1/2-inch slices. 
  • On another cutting board, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut chicken into 1/4-inch slices.
Cook chicken and veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken, peppers and onions. (NOTE: For 4 servings, don't crowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.)
  • Cook for 5-7 min, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through and veggies are tender.** Season with salt and pepper and remaining Chili-Cumin Spice Blend. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring until combined. 
  • Remove from heat, then transfer chicken and veggies to a large bowl. Add half the enchilada sauce. Toss to coat. Set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble enchiladas
4
  • Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave for 30 sec-1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. 
  • Meanwhile, lightly oil an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 servings) with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. 
  • Once the chicken and veggie mixture has cooled down, place tortillas on a clean work surface. 
  • Divide chicken-and-veggie filling between tortillas. Roll up to close and place in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down.
Broil enchiladas
5
  • Drizzle remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas, then sprinkle cheese over top.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven for 2-4 min, until cheese is melted and tortilla edges are slightly crispy. (TIP: Keep an eye on enchiladas so they don't burn.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide enchiladas between plates.
  • Dollop sour cream over top.
