How to make Chicken Picadillo Enchiladas
Preheat oven to 191°C. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in chilli powder. Add crushed tomatoes and 60ml juice from olives. Simmer sauce until flavours blend, about 6 minutes. Season with pepper and more olive juice, if desired.
Combine chicken, raisins, and olives in large bowl. Mix in 725ml sauce. Season filling to taste with pepper.
Spread 120ml sauce over bottom of 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Heat 1 tortilla directly over gas flame or in hot skillet until just softened, about 10 seconds per side. Place on work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon soured cream in strip in centre. Top with 80ml filling. Roll up tortilla. Place enchilada, seam side down, in prepared dish. Repeat, making 11 more enchiladas. Spoon remaining sauce over. Cover dish with foil.
Bake enchiladas until heated through, about 20 minutes. Uncover; top with dollops of remaining soured cream. Sprinkle with spring onions and coriander.
