  10. Share to the plates, do not worry if you can’t separate the enchiladas, just cut the dish like you would cut lasagna.

  12. Serve with lots of green salad on a side.

Make 12 enchiladas, allow 2-3 per serving.

NOTES

Enchiladas can be made with mince meat instead of diced one.

Optionally add some onions while frying the chicken/meat, I haven’t because of my children.

You can also add other ingredients to the enchiladas, such as red kidney beans, sweet corn or anything else you may think of.
