Recipe adapted from Fixate Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast diced
15 ounces tomato puree
1/2 onion diced
1/2 large carrot peeled and diced
1 bell pepper diced
1 zucchini diced
2 garlic cloves
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chile powder
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 cup shredded cheese (pepper jack, taco, Mexican, Monterey jack, cheddar, etc..)
Directions:
- Cook chicken over medium heat in non-stick pan. Spray pan with olive oil spray. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Remove from pan once cooked through.
- Spray another large non-stick pan with olive oil spray. Sauté diced onion, carrots, garlic, peppers, and zucchini until soft. (I used my food processor to dice vegetables).
- Add tomato puree, cumin, and chili powder. Simmer sauce for 5 minutes.
- Place 1 cup of sauce in bottom of 8×8 pan to coat the bottom. Reserve at least 1 cup of sauce to pour on the top.
- Add chicken to sauce and mix well.
- Place 1/4 cup chicken in each tortilla and roll. Place tortilla seam side down in the pan. Repeat for remaining three tortillas. Pour sauce over enchiladas.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the sauce.
- Cook now for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Or refrigerate until ready to serve. Then cook for 45 minutes at 350 degrees until food is cooked through and warm.
