drained and rinsed

1lime

coriander

75gmature Cheddar
or Red Leicester, grated

8flour tortillas

150mlsoured cream
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Whizz 200g of the peppers in the small bowl of a food processor, or use a stick blender, until smooth. Slice the remaining peppers to make 8 long pieces. Set aside.

Step 2
Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over low heat and fry the onion for 5min, until slightly softened. Increase heat to medium, add the mushrooms and fry for 5min, until golden. Stir in the chipotle paste and garlic and cook for 1min. Stir in the chickpeas and pepper purée and bubble for 1min, then remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, ½ the coriander, 25g grated cheese and some seasoning.
Step 3
Lay a pepper strip in the middle of a tortilla, spread 1/8 of the mushroom filling on top and roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas, peppers and filling. Arrange the rolls (seam down) in a single layer in a 2.5 litre ovenproof dish. Spread the soured cream on top, then scatter over the remaining cheese.
Step 4
Cook the enchiladas in the oven for 25min, or until golden. Scatter over the remaining coriander and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over or guacamole, if you like.
