Method

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lay out parchment paper on a baking dish, grease, and set aside. 

  • In a spacious frying pan, warm up the olive oil on medium heat. Dice and include the crimson onion, jalapeño pepper, and bell pepper. Cook until they become soft, approximately 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to your liking.

  • In a blending bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, chopped mango, sautéed veggies, and diced cilantro. Blend thoroughly.

  • Make the chipotle cream sauce in a separate dish by combining sour cream, chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, honey, cumin, and salt. Stir until completely blended.

  • Heat up the corn tortillas until soft in the microwave or on the stovetop. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken and mango mixture onto each tortilla, wrap it tightly, and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  • Pour the chipotle cream sauce evenly over the enchiladas, covering them fully. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for twenty-thirty minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

  • Take it out of the oven and cool slightly before serving. Add extra chopped cilantro or a slice of avocado for garnish if desired.

Notes

  • Choose ripe and juicy mangoesWhen creating this recipechoose ripe mangoes to provide natural sweetness and lively flavor to the enchiladasLook for mangoes with a pleasant scent somewhat tender to the touch.

  • Spiciness may be adjusted: If you like a lighter degree of heat, reduce the amount of chopped chipotle peppers in the chipotle cream sauce. If you want hotter tastes, add an additional chipotle pepper or a touch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.

  • Personalize the filling: Feel free to tailor the filling to your liking. Extra vegetables, like maize or black beans, can be added for texture and taste. For a vegetarian variation, use cooked shrimp, beef, or roasted veggies for the chicken.

  • Allow the enchiladas to rest for a few minutes before serving: After baking, lay the enchiladas aside for a few minutes before serving. This will assist in taste mixing and make it easier to handle and serve without breaking apart.

Bon Appetit!
