Red Dust Enchiladas

Red Dust Enchiladas

The Goods:

500g chicken mince

1 onion, finely diced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 zucchini, grated

1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or a blend)

8 soft taco pouches or wraps

1 jar cooking sauce (Mexican or enchilada-style)

2 tbsp Terrablendz Red Dust Mild Taco Seasoning (with Saltbush & Pepperberry)

The Process:

Step 1: Sauté the Filling

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft. Stir in the chicken mince. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once the meat browns, add the grated zucchini and taco seasoning. Mix well and cook for another five minutes. The seasoning will coat everything beautifully, releasing the aroma of Saltbush and Pepperberry into your kitchen.

Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas

Spoon the filling evenly into the taco pouches. If you’re using wraps, roll them up and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the cooking sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Bake the enchiladas for 20–25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve hot, straight from the oven, with a fresh salad and dollop of sour cream!

Why Use Saltbush and Pepperberry in Enchiladas?

If you’re wondering, what do saltbush and pepperberry taste like in Mexican food?, the answer is: deliciously unique. Saltbush brings a slightly salty, herbaceous profile. It enhances savoury meat dishes without overpowering other flavours. Pepperberry adds a subtle heat and fruity spice, offering depth and warmth.

Together, they transform classic enchiladas into something bold and unmistakably Australian. Plus, Terrablendz Red Dust Taco Seasoning balances these two flavours with traditional taco spices for a well-rounded flavour profile.

Can I Use This Seasoning with Other Meats?

Absolutely. One of the most common questions we get is, can I use Saltbush and Pepperberry seasoning with beef or vegetarian dishes? Yes, you can! This recipe works just as well with beef mince or shredded jackfruit for a plant-based option. The Saltbush and Pepperberry flavours still shine through, no matter the protein.

What Cooking Sauce Works Best?

A tomato-based Mexican cooking sauce works best for these Saltbush and Pepperberry Enchiladas. Choose one with chilli and smoked paprika for more depth. However, the seasoning already brings plenty of flavour. So, if you only have a simple tomato passata on hand, that’s fine too.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Saltbush and Pepperberry Enchiladas with a fresh side salad or steamed corn on the cob. A spoonful of Greek yoghurt or sour cream adds cool creaminess. You can even add avocado or a squeeze of lime for brightness.
