Mexican food is always a hit at the dinner table. Do you like things a little more on the spicy side? Use medium or hot enchilada sauce instead of the mild and add another jalapeno to the chicken mixture.

Ingredients

Method

In bowl, mix together Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses; set aside. In separate bowl, stir tomatoes with enchilada sauce; set aside.

In large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook chicken, stirring often, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove to plate.

In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook onion, red pepper, jalapeno pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in chicken and any juices and one-third of the sauce mixture.

Divide chicken mixture and half of the cheese mixture among tortillas; roll up each.

Spread one-third of the remaining sauce mixture in 13- x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish. Arrange rolls, seam side down, in dish; top with remaining sauce and cheese mixtures. Bake in 350?F (180?C) oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
