Method

For Enchilada Chicken Marinade:

Take the chicken in a bowl, and add lemon juice and red chillies and keep aside.

Then add the garlic and keep aside.

After that pour red wine, dashes of Tabasco and honey.

Now take a pan and cook the chicken in a tablespoon of oil. When it's almost done, add dried oregano.


For Enchilada Sauce: 

Blend the charred garlic, onion, tomato puree, green chillies and coriander in a mixer.

Heat oil, add this mixture, saute for a few minutes.

Then add the water, salt and pepper, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. It will thicken to resemble a creamy texture.

To put together the enchilada, slather sauce on the tortilla, then add the cooked enchilada chicken, roll it and pour enchilada sauce on top.

Then top with the two cheeses.

Stack these in flat bottomed glass bowl and bake till the cheese melts.
