Healthier Enchiladas!

Tuesday 7 January 2014


Asdfghjkl. These are not the cleanest recipe I have but they are certainly super delicious and healthier than other enchilada recipes! When I first took a bite of these I immediately tweeted that I was in enchilada heaven because seriously, I was! It's like pizza pasta deliciousness in a burrito or something. And single serving convenience ~


On a side note, I want to let you guys know that I do iifym and don't eat healthy all the time. In case you don't know. Because someone today was criticizing me of not being truthful. And I did not ever claim to eat completely healthy 24/7 but incase it was implied by my pictures :/ 

What you'll need
1 wholewheat/wholegrain flour tortilla
1 tomato
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/8 cup sliced onions
1/4 tsp minced garlic
50g minced chicken breast
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried herbs
1/2 - 1 red chili, chopped up 
1 tbsp corn kernals 
1/8 cup chopped bell peppers
2 tbsp tomato paste
10g shredded mozerella

Greek yogurt 
Spring onion

How to
1. Rinse tomato and leave some water on the surface. Microwave on high in 1 minute intervals until the skin splits. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin and chop up. 
Preheat oven to 180C. 
2. Heat olive oil in a non stick skillet, over medium heat sauté onions and garlic. When fragrant add in chicken and fry till opaque. 
3. Next add in the spices, chili, corn, bell pepper, tomato paste, and lastly chopped tomatoes. Toss together and keep frying. The chopped/mashed up tomatoes will soften up as they cook. At the end you should have something resembling chicken and vegetables in pasta sauce.
4. Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture into the centre of the tortilla, leaving the sauce behind to use for later. Wrap up burrito style! Fold sides of the tortilla over slightly then roll up tightly from bottom to top. Place into a dish, pour the remaining sauce over the entire tortilla wrap, sprinkle cheese over and bake for 20min. Cool before eating. Top with greek yogurt and spring onion. Enjoy!
