Chicken and Chorizo Enchilada recipe

As a family we have really been enjoying chicken and chorizo enchiladas, its one that we all look forward to and it is honestly so quick and easy to make. We normally serve this with seasoned fries and salad but can be served with other bits too.

Recipe: For 3 people

400g diced chicken thigh

1 tin of red kidney beans (I don't always use the whole tin)

90g diced chorizo

30g chipotle paste

1 garlic clove

100g cheddar

150ml water

salt and pepper

4-6 plain tortillas depending on how full you want them

Method:

Brown off you chicken in a large frying pan with a drizzle of oil.
Stir in the garlic, chorizo and chipotle paste and cook for 1 minute
Add the beans and stir well, add in the water and bring to the boil
Simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked
Add salt and pepper to taste.
lay you tortillas on a board and add the filling, turn up the bottom to close and roll both sides in
place in an oven proof dish and sprinkle with cheese, making sure its covered well
Cook in the oven on 220oC/gas mark 7 for 10-12 minutes
serve and enjoy

This meal honestly taken 15 minutes to make and the extra ten to brown off then its ready to serve, we have really looked forward to them every time I have cooked them lately and its one of my go to recipes these days for our busy days.

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal. I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be.
