Colm O'Gorman: My recipe for authentic chicken enchiladas is the perfect weekend comfort food

Oozy, cheesy deliciousness. The enchilada sauce can be made in advance. 

Enchiladas are the perfect comfort food. If overfilled they can sometimes be a little stodgy for my taste, but these chicken, black bean and feta enchiladas are quite light, especially when served with my fresh salsa. 

I made them this week and we had them with the salsa and a simple but delicious Mexican slaw made with shredded white cabbage, green chillies, lime and coriander. It was perfect and added a lovely freshness to the dish. If you fancy the slaw, just thinly shred half a white cabbage, finely dice a green chilli and toss them together with the juice of half a lime with a few tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander and half a teaspoon of flaky sea salt. It is that simple.
