GREEN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Make the tomatillo salsa: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the lime juice and cilantro. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
• For the enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon a little of the tomatillo salsa in the bottom of the dish.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and cumin and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Combine the onion mixture, chicken, queso fresco, sour cream and 2 cups Monterey Jack in a large bowl.
• Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Divide the chicken filling evenly among the tortillas and roll up, burrito-style. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the enchiladas are warmed through, 30 to 35 minutes. Garnish with queso fresco, cilantro and red onion, if desired.
