ENCHILADAS VERDE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 whole young chicken breasts
1 cup chicken stock (or water)
2 teaspoons salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup corn or canola oil
1 dozen flour tortillas
Salsa Verde, recipe follows
1 pound grated asadero-style cheese (substitutes: mozzarella or Monterey Jack)
Sour cream, for garnish
2 pounds green tomatillos
1 or 2 jalapenos
3 large garlic cloves
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • In a saute pan, bring the chicken stock , salt, garlic, and black pepper to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Leaving chicken in the liquid, allow to cool. When cool, remove the chicken. Bone and shred the chicken breasts and return to the liquid. Set aside. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the oil in a skillet. Pass the tortillas, one at a time, quickly through the oil, about 10 seconds per side. Place tortillas between paper towels to absorb excess oil. To assemble, put about 1/12th of the shredded chicken on each tortilla, sprinkling 1 teaspoon of the simmering liquid on top. Spread one tablespoon of the Salsa Verde over the chicken. Roll the tortilla around the chicken and sauce and place in a greased ceramic or glass casserole. Continue with the rest of the tortillas and filling until the entire filling is used up. Pour 3/4 of the remaining salsa verde over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake for 5 minutes then, check the progress. Continue baking until sauce begins to bubble, which may mean an additional 5 minutes. Top with sour cream when serving. Serve remaining salsa verde at the table. Note: Salsa verde can be made in advance and refrigerated for 3 to 4 days. Warm the refrigerated sauce before assembling the enchiladas.
  • For the sauce, clean the thin dry skins off the tomatillos. Boil all the ingredients together until soft, about 10 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes then, puree in a food processor. This should yield about 3 cups; if sauce seems too thick, thin with chicken stock to pourable paste consistency. Set aside.

I learned this recipe from an amazing cook from Puebla. I've been perfecting it for over 15 years and realized that it was time to share it when my foodie friends tried to drink the sauce out of the saucepan. I use the roasted or baked chicken from the grocery store. I did it once only to save time, but found that they are tastier. Be conservative with the cream and the cheese. Do not use sour cream!

Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cloves garlic
3 serrano peppers
2 ¼ pounds small green tomatillos, husks removed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
9 corn tortillas
3 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
½ store-bought rotisserie chicken, meat removed and shredded
¼ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 (8 ounce) container Mexican crema, crema fresca
1 cup grated cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Cover a large griddle with aluminum foil and preheat to medium-high.
  • Cook the garlic, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot griddle until toasted and blackened, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes for the garlic, 10 minutes for the peppers, and 15 minutes for the tomatillos. Remove to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Heat oil in a small, deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Using kitchen tongs, fry the tortillas individually, turning them once. They shouldn't be in the hot oil for more than 5 seconds per side. Remove excess oil with paper towels and keep warm. Remember that the hotter the oil, the less that the tortillas will absorb.
  • Place the toasted garlic, serrano peppers, tomatillos, and the water in a blender and blend until smooth; pour into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Dissolve the chicken bouillon into the mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. The sauce shouldn't be too thick.
  • Soak three tortillas in the sauce, one at a time, for a few seconds, fill them with shredded chicken, sprinkle the meat with some of the sauce, roll them and place them seam side down on a pasta bowl. Spoon a generous amount of sauce over them and top them with lettuce, cilantro, crema, and cotija cheese. Pour a little more sauce over the whole thing if desired. Repeat the procedure twice more. Serve immediately.

If you eat all of the Double-Herb Roasted Chicken, use a prepackaged rotisserie chicken (available in the meat section of the supermarket) for this recipe. Asadero, originally from Mexico, is a semisoft cow's milk cheese with a bright, pungent flavor.

These enchiladas are easy to make ahead and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. After quickly cooking the tortillas in hot oil, I layer them between paper napkins to soak up excess oil.-Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Yield 12 enchiladas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 chicken breast halves
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 white onion (chunk)
1/4 white onion (chopped)
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 teaspoons salt
1 (28 ounce) can green enchilada sauce (I use Las Palmas)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups Kraft Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup sour cream
2 (4 1/2 ounce) cans chopped green chilies (drained)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine chicken breast with chicken broth, one quarter onion, a clove of garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 20 minutes.

  • Pour green chile enchilada sauce in a medium saucepan, and bring to a low boil.
  • Pour oil in a frying pan, and allow to get very hot. Slightly fry tortillas one by one in hot oil, setting each on a paper towel afterwards to soak some of the oil.
  • Finally, dip slightly fried tortillas in low-boiling green chile enchilada sauce for just a moment to cover.
  • After frying the tortillas and dipping in the green chile enchilada sauce, mix up the cooked shredded chicken with just enough sour cream to bind it, the onions, chopped green chiles, and 1 cup cheese.
  • Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, and a little green chile enchilada sauce. Roll them up, put them in 9X13 can, and cover with remaining green chile enchilada sauce and remaining 1 cup shredded mexican cheese,.
  • Bake in a 425 degree oven until cheese is melty (20 min?).
