Ingredients
50g
tomato puree
2 x 200 g tubs fresh salsa
35g
sachet fajita seasoning
4
cooked skinless chicken breasts, torn into bite size pieces
125g
roasted red pepper from a jar, roughly chopped
198g
tin sweetcorn, drained
Large handful fresh coriander leaves, chopped
2
large wheatflour tortilla wraps
350g
tub fresh cheese sauce
100g
mature cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Put the tomato purée in a large bowl with 1tbsp water, the salsa and the fajita seasoning. Stir to combine. Add the chicken, chopped pepper, sweetcorn and most of the coriander, then stir again until everything is coated in the sauce.
Step 2Spoon half the mixture into a large ovenproof dish or roasting tin. Top with a tortilla (trim to fit the tin, if needed, and use the trimmings to fill in any gaps). Spread a third of the cheese sauce over the top of the tortilla and sprinkle over half the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining chicken mixture, tortilla, the rest of the cheese sauce and the cheddar.
Step 3Cook in the oven for 35-40min until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and serve.
This would also work with Quorn pieces or added roasted veg, in place of the chicken, if you want to make this dish veggie.
