Method
0 of 8 done- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4.
- In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken breast pieces to the pan. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Divide the chicken mixture between the two tortillas, placing it in a line down the centre of each. Roll the tortillas up tightly and place them seam-side down in a small baking dish.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken enchiladas warm!
