Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the brown onion (see ingredients). Cut the chicken thigh into 1cm chunks. Drain the sweetcorn.

Start the filling
2

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the sweetcorn and cook, tossing, until lightly charred, 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and Tex-Mex spice blend (see ingredients) and cook, stirring, until browned, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.

Finish the filling
3

Add the onion and carrot to the pan and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add 1/2 the enchilada sauce and return 1/2 the charred corn to the pan. Stir to combine and season generously with salt and pepper.

Bake the enchiladas
4

Place the mini flour tortillas on a flat surface and fill with spoonfuls of the enchilada filling. Roll up the tortillas to enclose the filling and place, seam-side down, in a baking dish. Spoon over the remaining enchilada sauce and top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese is golden, 10-15 minutes.

Make the salsa
5

While the enchiladas are baking, roughly chop the tomato. Roughly chop the coriander. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, remaining charred corn, coriander and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve up
6

Divide the enchiladas between plates and serve with the Greek-style yoghurt and the tomato salsa.

  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty Mexican-inspired dish, though some found it a bit mild and suggested adding extra spices for more kick.
  • Ease of prep: While quick and simple for some, others found it time-consuming to prepare, especially trimming the chicken thighs.
  • Suggestions: Several recommended using chicken breast or mince instead of thighs. Some suggested adding rice, beans, or a side salad.
  • Leftovers: The recipe made generous portions, with some families having enough for lunch the next day.
  • Tweaks: Many preferred sour cream over Greek yoghurt. Some added extra cheese or sauce for more flavour.
