Makes 8
- ½ roast chicken (ready-made)
- 425g can black beans
- 2 chorizo sausages
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 800ml (3¼ cups) salsa roja
- Salt
- Chilli sauce
- 8 large tortillas
- 200g (1½ cups) Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- 50g (â…“ cup) feta
- 4 tomatoes, mixed or all red
- 1 small red onion
- 4 sprigs coriander
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 150ml (â…” cup) sour cream
Pull the chicken meat, including the skin, off the bone in bite-sized pieces. Rinse the beans under cold water and drain. Finely dice the chorizo. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the chicken and chorizo for 3-5 minutes. Add the beans and about a third of the salsa roja. Season with salt and chilli sauce to taste.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Divide the chilli mixture among the tortillas and roll the tortillas up. Spread a little of the remaining salsa across the bottom of a baking dish. Transfer the enchiladas to the dish and cover with the remaining salsa. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and crumbled feta and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, quarter, deseed and dice the tomatoes. Peel and finely dice the onion. Chop the coriander and combine with the tomatoes and onions in a bowl. Toss with the vinegar and 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Remove the enchiladas from the oven. Top with the fresh tomato salsa, drizzle with sour cream and serve.
