How to make it
- Begin by preparing the sauce. Heat up the oil in a saucepan, then add the garlic and onion and fry gently over medium heat. Add the Chipotle Paste, tomato paste, smoked paprika and stir continuously. Cook everything for a minute or two.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes. When the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and place it in a blender. Blend smooth and then reserve.
- Start preparing your enchilada filling. In a large frying pan, heat up the oil over a medium heat. Once hot enough, fry the chorizo with the onion and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions soften and the chorizo releases its oil. Now add the butternut squash, sweet potato and swede. Season with Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix, then season with salt and pepper. Stir and let it cook for a minute or two.
- Next, add 1 cup of the enchilada sauce and the chicken stock into your veggie and chorizo mixture. Cover, and let it simmer on a medium temperature until your vegetables are cooked through.
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C/390˚F. Prepare a baking dish big enough to fit 10 enchiladas, then add a bit of enchilada sauce on the bottom and spread it.
- Add into your Soft Tacos a generous amount of your winter veg chorizo filling, roll and then place in the oven dish. Repeat the same process with the rest of the tortillas and filling.
- Once all your enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over them, making sure they are well coated in the sauce. Finally, add the grated cheese and season with freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until they are piping hot and your cheese melts. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and freshly chopped coriander on top. Enjoy!

FAQs
What are Chorizo Enchiladas With Winter Veg?
Chorizo Enchiladas With Winter Veg are a delicious Mexican-inspired dish made with chorizo sausage, winter vegetables, and enchilada sauce. The chorizo adds a bit of smokiness and spice, while the winter vegetables bring a hearty and seasonal touch.
Can I use a different kind of sausage instead of chorizo?
Absolutely! If you're not a fan of chorizo or don't have it on hand, you can substitute it with another type of sausage like spicy Italian sausage or andouille sausage. However, keep in mind that the flavour will vary slightly from the traditional chorizo enchiladas.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian or vegan?
Absolutely! To make it vegetarian, you can replace the chorizo sausage with a vegetarian or vegan alternative, such as soy-based chorizo or crumbled tofu seasoned with Mexican spices. Additionally, ensure that the enchilada sauce you use is vegetarian or vegan-friendly.
