Today I decided to use up a few kitchen oddities whilst achieving the constant endevour that is filling my little belly.

As a result my variation of Enchiladas was born and following the post-consumption verdict of "Mmmmmmmmmmm", I enclose the recipe and basic instructions as follows:
Ingredients:
1 red onion.
1/2 green pepper (capsicum).
1/2 yellow peppar (capsicum).
1 tin of chopped toms.
1 tin of mixed chilli beans.
2 chicken breast fillets.
White flour tortillas.
Handful of Medium Cheddar or cheese of preference! (read: Child in a sweetshop! :D)
Ricebran Oil (or oil of preference).
1/2 packet of Old El Passo spice mix or equivalent.
Method:
1- Prepare and dice the red onion, chop the peppers.
2- Mix the tins of chopped toms and chilli beans in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and however much black pepper suits your preference.
3- Trim & chopup your chicken into strips of nom-able size.
4- Heat some oil in a wok/pan and once slightly smoking add and seal your chicken. Add a sprinkling of the spice mix to this once sealed.
5- Once you're happy the chicken is cooked add the red onion, peppers and the remains of your spice mix (or to taste preference).
6- Once you've given your veg a little blast and the spice mix is well worked in (turning more like a paste/sauce than the powder) you can add in your seasoned mixture of chopped toms and chilli beans.
7- Let this concoction of flavoursome delights bubble under gentle heat until the consistency reduces to that similar of tomato sauce ((Depending upon your chopped toms it can start off a little 'watery'.)
8- Line the oven dish with a light film of butter/spread.
9- Place a tortilla wrap in an oven dish/ceramic dish and place a line of your delicious mixture down the middle. Fold up the wrap and 'stick' it with a little smear of butter/spread if necessary :)
10- Repeat Step 9 until your oven dish is full/used up indgredients etc.
11- Pour the remaining sauce from the mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with the grated cheese before placing in a preheated over (Gas 5) for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Serve & Enjoy!! :)
Serves 2/3 depending upon apetites and the ability to contain one's lust for more! :p
I'm afraid the presentation of this dish does not match the flavours which I must say were delicious. I'm more of a cook than a chef - the difference being the skill of presentation :p
