Enchiladas

Enchiladas are one of Mexico's definitive dishes. The name covers a type of dish, and literally means 'filled with chilli'. This is a classic recipe, but try filled with beans, cheese, chicken or roasted vegetables. Just roll up in a tortilla, smother with sauce, top with cheese & bake in the oven.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp oil
• 350g lean minced beef
• 1 jar Discovery Chilli Season & Sauce
• 1 pack Discovery Flour Tortillas
• 1 jar Discovery Enchilada Season & Sauce
• 50g Cheddar cheese, grated

 Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat oil and fry mince with seasoning from both caps until browned.
2. Add sauce and 200ml water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes until mince is tender and thick.
3. Fill tortillas with chilli, roll up pancake-style and arrange in a large ovenproof dish.
4. Pour Enchilada sauce over tortillas, sprinkle with cheese and cook in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned and bubbling.
5. Serve immediately.
