Budget Recipe Chicken Enchilada | The Skint Dad Blog
These chicken enchiladas are not only quick to prepare but taste pretty damn scrumptious too!!

This is the kind of dinner that works really well on a week night when things are a bit of a rush. It takes a few minutes to prepare the ingredients and, once the you’ve got the wraps made, you can sit back (or do everything else that needs to be done during the mad rush that is pre-dinner time) until the bell rings.

As with all the cheaters recipes, if you have the ingredients stocked up in your cupboard it makes cooking easy food like this a doddle.

Instead, if you buy the pre-made kits to make this, you are going to pay out more money. For just the kit, mySupermarket show it costs £3.19 – plus you’d have to add in the cost of the chicken, cheese and vegetables.

Buying the individual ingredients instead and making the food from scratch really helps cut the costs of your food shop!
