Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Sweet Chili Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas

[heart_this] · Apr 4, 2013 · 19 Comments

Sweet Chili Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas

Chicken and avocado enchiladas in a in a tasty sweet chili sauce.

Ever since I made the Thai inspired sweet chili chili dressing it has been haunting my dreams and I have been obsessing about using it again! Really this sweet chili dressing is addictive enough to eat by the spoonful or even drink by the bottle full but I wanted to use it in another recipe and enchiladas sounded like the perfect option! I was thinking that chicken and sweet chili would be an amazing combination for enchiladas, I mean you really cannot go wrong with smothering chicken in a tasty sauce, wrapping it in tortillas, and drowning it in melted cheese! I did however want to fill the enchiladas out a bit and cool and creamy avocados were and excellent way to do so! The sweet chili sauce and melted cheese combo works surprisingly well together in these chicken enchiladas and the avocados bring bring everything together!

Sweet Chili Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas
The sweet chili dressing works amazingly well in these enchiladas but you want to go easy on it so as not to overpower the other flavours.

Sweet Chili Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas
Just look at all of that melted cheesy goodness!

    I had something similar to this for dinner last night. But now I'm going to have to make it again just so I can add in the sweet chili sauce. Heavenly!

    Definitely will be trying this! BTW sweet chili dressing makes a great topping on turkey meatloaf instead of the convention ketchup/mustard mashup. 🙂

    Kevin, these were unbelievable, but I must admit that I took the easy way out and just used the sweet chili sauce instead of making your amazing dressing. Don't worry they were still good, just not as good! 🙂 I posted about my little foray into theses enchiladas and linked back to you a couple of times over because these were awesome and you deserve the kudos! Thanks again and see you on G+! Cheers!
