Servings: 8
Calories: 232kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pkg tortillas
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 2 cups cooked quinoa, cooked in chicken broth
- 11.75 oz Katsu sauce (hoisin can also be used)
- 2 tbsp cilantro, fresh or dried
- 1 batch peach salsa, prepared in advance
Instructions
- Cook your quinoa while you do all the prep for this. It will make this all come together fairly quickly.
- I brought the water to a boil, added the rinsed quinoa, let it boil for about 2 to 3 minutes, then reduced it to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Before you start the enchiladas line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large pan or wok over medium heat add your olive oil. Let it start to glisten, takes a minute or two, then add your chicken and onions at the same time. Cook until browned and cooked through. If you've cut your pieces small enough this should only take 5 to 8 minutes tops. Keep tossing the chicken around to make it brown evenly. Once it's almost done add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the Katsu or Hoisin sauce. Stir until evenly coated and golden brown.
- In the microwave, or a frying pan with some non stick spray, heat up your tortillas till they are just slightly warm. Makes them easier to work with.
- Now lay a tortilla flat, add a scoop of cooked quinoa, and a scoop of chicken. I was daring and in half our enchiladas I also added some peach salsa Now fold the first side then roll them up like a burrito. Place on the cookie sheet folded side down. Repeat till all tortillas are full and laid out on the pan.
- Now brush the rest of the Katsu or Hoisin sauce over top of each enchilada.
- Broil for one to two minutes (mine were 2 minutes on low broil) and remove from oven.
- Top with Peach Salsa and cilantro if desired.
