instructions
1
Cook the quinoa
Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the quinoa. Cook, uncovered, 16 minutes. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly.
2
Prepare the ingredients
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Wash and dry the pepper; cut off and discard the stem. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands and cutting board immediately after handling.
3
Cook the chicken & peppers
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and the chicken is cooked through. Turn off the heat.
4
Assemble the enchiladas
To the pot of cooked quinoa, add the cooked chicken and pepper, cilantro sauce, drained beans, and a drizzle of olive oil; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Place the tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 2 cups of the filling into the bottom of a baking dish. Divide the remaining filling among the tortillas; tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling. Transfer to the baking dish in a single layer, seam side down.
5
Caramelize the onion
Rinse and wipe out the pan used to cook the chicken. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Add the honey (kneading the packet before opening) and chile paste. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat.
6
Bake the enchiladas & serve your dish
Evenly top the enchiladas with the caramelized onion and grated cheese. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
