Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium white or yellow onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
2 poblano peppers (stemmed and thinly sliced)
1 jalapeno pepper (finely diced)
8-10 flour tortillas
4 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works best)
2-3 cups Monterrey Jack cheese
optional garnish: fresh cilantro (sour cream, and/or shredded cheese)
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 California avocados (peeled and pitted)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
juice of one lime

Steps:

  • First make the avocado cream sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the flour, whisking until golden and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly whisk the broth into the flour mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the sour cream, cumin, salt, garlic powder and pepper, whisking if necessary to remove any lumps. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add avocados, cilantro and lime juice, and pulse until smooth and well-blended. (Be very careful blending hot liquids - the heat will expand! So be sure to remove the lid occasionally so that the heat can escape.) Season with additional salt or pepper if needed.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano and jalapeno, and saute for 5-6 minutes until the onions are cooked and translucent. Remove from heat.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a tablespoon or two of the avocado sauce down the middle of the tortilla. Then layer on some of the vegetable mixture, shredded chicken and cheese. Carefully roll the tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Drizzle the top with about half of the remaining avocado cream sauce, then cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, or until tortillas are heated through and begin to harden. (I baked mine at 350 for about 20 minutes)
  • Remove from the oven, then serve individual enchiladas drizzled with the remainder of the avocado cream sauce. You can also garnish with additional cilantro, cheese, and/or sour cream.

AVOCADO ENCHILADAS



Avocado Enchiladas image

I got this recipe from Fitnessmagazine, this recipe was written by Deena Kastor. I did not make it the way she wrote the recipie, we happen to like full fat cheese, and fresh herbs. We also went for light citrus flavored beer, and olive oil rather than the canola oil, as the olive oil provides a better taste.
