Preparation steps

1.

For the rice: Cook the rice according to package directions. Rinse, trim and thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal. Heat 1 teaspoon corn oil in a saucepan and briefly sauté the scallions. Add the peas and 80 ml (approximately 2 3/4 ounces) vegetable broth and simmer 5 minutes. Stir into the cooked rice and season with salt, paprika and turmeric.

2.

For the enchiladas: Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry. In a skillet, heat 150ml (approximately 5 1/4 ounces of broth, add the chicken and cook over low heat until cooked through, 15- 20 minutes. Peel the onions and the garlic and chop finely. Rinse the chile, halve lengthwise, remove seeds and finely chop. Blanch the tomatoes in a pot of boiling water for 10 seconds. Drain, peel, remove the seeds and coarsely chop. Rinse the peppers, halve, remove seeds and the white ribs and dice finely. Heat about 4 tablespoons corn oil in a saucepan and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the tomato paste and sauté briefly. Add the chile, tomatoes and about 50 ml (approximately 1 3/4 ounces) chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 15 minutes, then puree and season with Tabasco, salt and pepper.  Heat 1 tablespoon of corn oil in a nonstick skillet  and saute the tortillas for 1 minute, turning them over midway. Drain and remove to paper towels.
