When I created this Spicy Mexican Chicken and Rice, I had only one thing on my mind Mexican Enchiladas!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a dish I would often order at a local Mexican restaurant local to me when I was at university. It was just sooo good and I often get cravings for it, ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tortilla wraps however can be quite high in calories and not very filling, so this bake combines many of the components of an Enchilada but without the wrap. It is seriously tasty. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Enchilada Sauce<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes there are ready made jars of most sauces, but I stopped buying anything like that a long time ago, it's so quick to make your own sauce and you know exactly what has gone into it when you make it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this yummy homemade Enchilada sauce I use just some simple store cupboard ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
