Swiss Enchiladas image

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups Shredded Chicken (1 1/2 recipe)
4 , poblano chile kimmy, , roasted, peeled, and seeded
2 pounds tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered
1/2 cup fresh cilantro sprigs, packed plus 2 tablespoons chopped
2 tablespoons chopped white onions
2 , serrano chile kimmy, , chopped with seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1/2 cup chicken broth (from cooking the chicken)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/3 cup vegetable oil
12 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 green onions, , finely chopped, including 2 inches of green
1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream thinned with milk

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the chicken and reserve. Then, prepare the poblano chiles and chop them coarsely. Put the chiles in a blender. Add the tomatillos, cilantro, onion, serrano chiles, oregano, chicken broth, sugar, and salt. Purée, in batches if necessary, until smooth. Transfer the green sauce to a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, partially covered, stirring often, for 12 to 15 minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning, if needed. Set aside. 2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. With tongs, dip the tortillas, 1 at a time in the hot oil until limp, about 3 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Stack and cover to keep them soft and warm. Mix 1/2 cup of the cooked green sauce with the shredded chicken. 3. To assemble the enchiladas, put 1 tortilla on a plate and put about 2 tablespoons of chicken on the tortilla and roll into a cylinder. Place seam side down in a large 9- × 13-inch baking pan. Repeat until all tortillas are filled, rolled and placed side by side in the dish. 4. Pour the remaining green sauce over all. Scatter the cheese and onions on top. Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted. Drizzle crema over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
