Enchiladas Verdes

4.4

🇲🇽 Mexican

Bright, tangy enchiladas verdes bring together charred tomatillo salsa, tender shredded chicken and warm corn tortillas for a comforting, vibrant meal. The lightly roasted salsa is blended with fresh herbs and simmered until silky, then envelops the tortillas before a quick bake. Finish with cool crema, crumbled queso fresco and extra onion and cilantro for contrast.

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the Tomatillos, Serrano Chiles, a few cloves of Garlic, and a halved White Onion on a baking sheet and roast under the broiler or over a hot skillet until the skins are charred and softened, about 8–10 minutes, turning as needed.

2

Transfer the charred vegetables to a blender along with a generous handful of Cilantro, about 1 cup of Chicken Broth, and 1 teaspoon of Salt; blend until smooth and adjust thinning with more broth if needed.

3

Heat 1–2 tablespoons of Neutral Oil in a skillet over medium heat, pour in the blended salsa and simmer for 5–7 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld. Taste and season with more Salt if desired.

4

Warm the Corn Tortillas so they’re pliable—either wrap in a damp towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds or quickly warm each in a dry skillet (you can also lightly fry in the skillet with a splash of oil for extra flavor).

5

Dip each warmed tortilla into the hot salsa to coat, fill with shredded Cooked Chicken, roll up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

6

Pour any remaining salsa over the arranged enchiladas and bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until heated through and bubbling at the edges.

7

Remove from the oven and spoon over a drizzle of Mexican Crema, sprinkle crumbled Queso Fresco, and finish with some thinly sliced raw white onion and chopped cilantro for a fresh, bright finish.
