  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper.
  5. Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pan and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the tinned chopped tomatoes, ground cumin, chilli powder, salt, and black pepper.
  8. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Spread a thin layer of the mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.
  10. Place the tortilla wrap on a flat surface and spoon the remaining chicken and spinach mixture down the centre. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  11. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top of the enchilada and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander if desired.
