The coriander\u2026 Okay, so each ingredient is playing an indispensable role, as in all good recipes.<\/p>\n<p>Enchiladas are usually the first thing non-Mexicans think of when they think of Mexican cuisine. The word is likely derived from the Nahuatl word <em>ch\u012bllap\u012bzzali<\/em>, which means chilli flute, and first came to our attention in Bernal D\u00edaz del Castillo\u2019s 1576 <em>Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espa\u00f1a<\/em>. In 1831, recipes for various enchiladas appeared in the incredibly influential <em>El cocinero mexicano (The Mexican Chef)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As hard to believe as it is, not everyone has been a fan of this popular dish. <em>Through the Land of the Aztecs<\/em> from 1892 includes a critique from a white tourist which describes an enchilada as a \u2018greasy tortilla sandwich containing \u2018chiles,\u2019 and a number of other uninviting-looking compounds and other nasty messes . . . filling the air with a pungent, nauseous smell\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just no accounting for taste.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cooked-single-ingredient cooked-heading\" style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<h4>Avocado Enchilada Sauce<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>2 tablespoons of butter<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons of plain flour<\/li>\n<li>2 cups of stock (chicken or vegetable)<\/li>\n<li>\u2154 of a cup of sour cream<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon of ground cumin<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd a teaspoon of garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd a teaspoon of ground coriander<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon of salt<\/li>\n<li>Several twists of the pepper mill<\/li>\n<li>250g of Monjay\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/mjmezza.com.au\/gourmet-dips\/avocado\/\">Avocado Dip<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Handful of chopped coriander<\/li>\n<li>Juice of a lime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Enchilada Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken (roast chook from the supermarket is ideal)<\/li>\n<li>1 onion, sliced thinly<\/li>\n<li>Pickled jalapenos, diced<\/li>\n<li>1 cup of grated cheddar cheese<\/li>\n<li>8 tortillas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h2 style=\"text-transform: capitalize;\">How to Prepare<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cooked-recipe-directions\">\n<div class=\"cooked-single-direction cooked-direction cooked-direction-has-number\" data-step=\"Step 1\">\n<div class=\"cooked-dir-content\">\n<p>Heat the oven to 175 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>For the avocado enchilada sauce, melt the butter in a frying pan and whisk in the flour. Let it bubble and colour for a couple of minutes, then stir in the stock and let it come to the boil. Simmer for around five minutes to cook the flour through. Add the sour cream, cumin, garlic powder, coriander, salt and pepper, give it a stir, then remove from the heat. Stir through the avocado dip, coriander and lime, and set to one side.<\/p>\n<p>To assemble, lay the tortillas out on the kitchen bench. Spread a little of the avocado sauce on each, then top with shredded chicken, followed by the onion, jalapenos and cheese. Roll the tortillas carefully and place snugly in a baking dish, seam side down. Cover with the remaining avocado enchilada sauce and then bake in the oven for around 20 minutes. If the enchiladas look as though they\u2019re drying out too much, cover with foil.<\/p>\n<p>Serve hot and bubbly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicken and avocado enchiladas may sound like an awkward fusion of Tex Mex and Ladies Who Lunch, but some unions just seem to hit it off.
