Chorizo and Chicken Enchiladas
I love chorizo and it paired so well with chicken in these enchiladas. This is a great meal prep dinner that is filled with veggies and easy to adjust depending on your spice preferences.
Ingredients:
1 pound chorizo
1 large chicken breast diced
1 teaspoon paprika
4 cups kale diced
2 cans fire roasted tomatoes
1 8 ounce cup tomato sauce
½ onion diced
1 jalapeno diced
2 cloves garlic diced
3-4 cups shredded cheese divided (I used a mixture of Mexican, Taco, and Pepper Jack)
8 large tortillas (I used sundried tomato carb balance wraps)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 if cooking immediately.
- Brown the chorizo in a nonstick skillet and drain.
- Spray another skillet with olive oil spray. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika. Cook on medium until just done. Transfer the chicken to the skillet with the chorizo and mix together.
- Add diced jalapenos to the meat mixture.
- Add the kale, onion, garlic, and tomatoes to a large skillet. Mix together and heat on medium for 10 minutes.
- Add 1-2 cups of the sauce to the base of a 9×13 pan. Set aside 1-2 cups of sauce to top the enchiladas.
- Add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the meat mixture. Add the remaining sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Fill tortillas with ½ to 1 cup of the mixture. Place tortillas seam down in the pan.
- Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
- Top with shredded cheese. I used half pepper jack and half taco blend.
- Bake 20-25 minutes if cooking immediately. Bake 45 minutes if cooking after refrigerating.
- Note: If meal prepping in advance wait to top with the shredded cheese until you are placing this in the oven.
- Enjoy!
