You can chose from any of the following as fillings, match weight in recipe.

Prawns (King, Tiger, or Cold water)

Crab (fresh or tinned white meat)

Butter Beans

Borlotti Beans (best lightly mashed)

Pinto Beans (best lightly mashed)

Refried Beans

Anything you want to try.

Extra Fillings:

There are large ranges of mild chilli peppers in jars which make a useful addition as a replacement for fresh chilli.

Serve with a bottle of Tabasco for extra spice.

Sweetcorn with/without Peppers is a colourful addition.

INGREDIENTS

There is a lot of garlic in this recipe.

The best way to compensate for reducing or leaving garlic out is to increase the amount of fresh coriander and lime juice where these are included.

One compromise is to leave the garlic out of the sour cream sauce.

You may feel that the finished Enchiladas are a little too wet. This is governed by the water content of the passata.

To reduce the water content, cook the passata first to dry it out. This is quick process and the other ingredients of the can be cooked in the passata.
