Curry chicken enchiladas (includes overnight marinading)

Really great mid-week meal to have with salad. Fresh and filling. The overnight marinading really does make a difference to the flavour.

Steps
- 1
The night before, take one red onion and finely dice it. Set aside on a plate/small bowl.
- 2
Separate the stalks from the leaves of the coriander, saving the stalks. Roughly chop the leaves and also set them aside on a small plate/bowl. Cover the diced onion and the coriander leaves and put in the fridge until tomorrow.
- 3
Slice the remaining two onions and the peppers into thin strips and place into a large bowl. Finely chop the coriander stalks and add them to the bowl. Then finely chop/crush the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl too.
- 4
Chop the chicken breasts into small chunks and add those to the bowl. Then add 1tbsp cumin, paprika, turmeric, dried herbs, ground black pepper and chilli flakes. And 1tsp salt.
- 5
Then add enough oil to the bowl to make the spices stick to the chicken, pepper and onions like a paste. Using your hands mix well, making sure everything is covered in the spice mixture. Cover the bowl and put into the fridge overnight.
- 6
The next day, preheat the oven to 200°c fan.
- 7
Separate the chicken pieces from the onions and peppers. Fry the chicken in a large pan, preferably non-stick, until white all over. You shouldn't need more oil for this part if using a non-stick pan because the oil in the marinade should be enough.
- 8
Then add the onions and peppers to the pan and fry until soft. It'll be 7/8 minutes usually.
- 9
Meanwhile put the tins of tomatoes into a pot and bring to the boil. Then add 1tsp of all the spices listed above. Mix well and then mash the tomatoes with a potato masher or with a fork until all the big lumps are gone. Simmer for 10/15 minutes until thickened.
- 10
Get yourself a large, deep sided baking tray. Separate the chicken, pepper and onion mixture into six sections. Place a tortilla in the tray and put one section of the chicken, pepper and onion mixture in the middle and cover with a large spoonful of the sauce.
- 11
Fold the edges of the tortilla over the mixture, then flip the tortilla over so the fold is on the bottom. Repeat this with all 6 tortillas, squeezing them into the tray next to each other.
- 12
If you have any sauce left over then just spoon it over the top of the tortillas. And then completely cover the tortillas with a mixture of grated cheddar and mozzarella.
- 13
Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Or until the cheese is slightly browned and crispy.
- 14
Serve with the diced red onion and coriander leaves sprinkled over the top.
