Let’s make it
- Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake.
- Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and 2 tablespoons of Mexcellent Paste, then cook for 5–6 minutes until the chicken is lightly golden. It does not need to be completely cooked through yet.
- Add the onion and capsicum, then cook for another 4 minutes until beginning to soften.
- Stir through the remaining Mexcellent Paste, black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock and Man Grind.
- Simmer for 5–8 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is nearly cooked through.
- Cut the tortillas into rough strips or wedges. Stir most of them through the chicken mixture, keeping a few pieces for the top. Make sure the tortillas are well coated in the sauce.
- Smooth the mixture out in the skillet, tuck the remaining tortilla pieces over the top and generously cover with the grated cheese.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the tortillas around the edges are lightly crisp.
- Leave to sit for 5 minutes, then top with dollops of sour cream, diced avocado, salsa, coriander and a squeeze of lime.
- Scoop into bowls and serve with extra tortilla chips for dragging through all the cheesy Mexcellent sauce.
