Mexican Chicken Enchiladas Verdes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place tomatillos and serrano peppers in a pot with water over medium-high heat. Simmer for 8 minutes until tomatillos turn pale green and soft.

  2. 2

    Transfer boiled tomatillos, peppers, half the onion, garlic, and 1 tsp salt into a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the green salsa and simmer for 6 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.

  4. 4

    Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable so they do not crack when rolled.

  5. 5

    Dip each warm tortilla lightly into the hot green salsa. Fill with shredded chicken and roll up tightly.

  6. 6

    Arrange rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over top and sprinkle evenly with Oaxaca cheese.

  7. 7

    Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Drizzle with Mexican crema before serving.
