👨‍🍳 Method

For the Tomato sauce

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, mix the tomatoes with the salt. Don't cook it: the sauce cooks on the pizza in the oven.
    ⚙ SimmeringStoveSmall saucepan
    💡Spread cooled sauce on pizza: hot sauce softens the dough even before baking.
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.

To assemble

  1. 3
    Place some of the chicken on each corn tortilla, add a little of the sauce and a little of the cheese, and roll up.
  2. 4
    Grease a baking dish with the oil and arrange the enchiladas in it.
    Baking pan
  3. 5
    Pour the rest of the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
  4. 6
    Bake 25 minutes, until the cheese is golden.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
