Start by boiling 1.5 pounds of chicken (posta de gallina) with salt and garlic powder for about 30 minutes until tender.

Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it cool before shredding it.

Keep some of the chicken broth for later use.

Sauté chopped onion and bell peppers in a skillet with a little oil until softened.

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well with the onion and bell peppers for about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in a bit of the reserved chicken broth and season with tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard; mix to combine.

Prepare the batter by mixing 1 pound of flour with achote and water until smooth and slightly thick.

Combine the shredded chicken mixture with the cooked rice, ensuring it is not too wet; let it cool slightly.

Take a corn tortilla, add a portion of the chicken and rice mixture, and roll it up carefully.

Fry the rolled tortillas in hot oil in a skillet until golden brown on one side, then flip to cook the other side until golden.

Drain the fried enchiladas on a colander to remove excess oil.
