Recipes for "enchiladas verdes"

Make the Sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place tomatillos and jalapeños on the baking sheet. Wrap peeled garlic in foil and add to baking sheet. Drizzle everything with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway to prevent excessive scorching. Pulse everything in a blender (including juices). Add other sauce ingredients, blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine about one third of the sauce (2 or so cups) with the chicken. Stir in about half of the cheese and any other mix-ins you want.

Make the Enchiladas Verdes: Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Place filling on tortillas, roll up, and arrange in pan, seam side down. Cover with another cup or two of sauce and remaining cheese (just eyeball it). Bake for about 15 minutes, until bubbly and delish. Top with cilantro or cotija or red onion – all your favorite standbys are welcome.

Make the salsa verde: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add flour and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in broth, then add green chiles, garlic, salt, and cumin. Simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)

Make the enchiladas: Mix Monterey Jack and Cheddar together in a bowl.

Heat 1/4 inch oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry tortillas, one at a time, until blistering but still soft enough to roll, 10 to 20 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

Dip both sides of each tortilla in salsa verde, then place onto a work surface. Place 2 heaping tablespoons chicken and about 2 tablespoons cheese mixture down the center and roll tortilla around fillings. Place, seam-side down, into a shallow baking dish. Repeat to fill and roll remaining tortillas.

Spoon some salsa verde over enchiladas and pour in heavy cream. Sprinkle remaining cheese mixture over top and garnish with green onions.

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with olives and cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately with remaining salsa verde on the side.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a small bowl, stir together half of the sour cream and the green salsa. Spread enough to coat the bottom into a 9x13 inch baking dish. On each tortilla, spread a small amount of the salsa and sour cream in the center. Lay a small handful of spinach over that, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up, secure with a toothpick and place into the baking dish. When all of the tortillas are in the pan, pour the remaining salsa over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the enchiladas are browned and heated through.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Make the sauce: Pulse tomatillos, cilantro, onion, jalapeños, and green onions in a food processor until coarsely chopped, about 8 pulses. Transfer mixture to a saucepan.

Bring tomatillo mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then cook for 5 minutes. Stir in cream, broth, salt, and pepper. Return to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Make the filling: Place shrimp and spinach into a skillet over medium heat. Cover tightly and cook until spinach wilts and shrimp are heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; wipe the skillet dry.

Make the enchiladas: Heat 1 teaspoon oil in the clean skillet over medium heat. Cook one tortilla in the hot skillet until soft, 7 to 8 seconds per side. Place about 1 tablespoon filling and 1 tablespoon Monterey Jack in the center and roll to seal. Place enchilada into the prepared baking dish with the seam facing down. Repeat to warm, fill, and roll tortillas, adding remaining oil as necessary.

Pour sauce over enchiladas and spoon remaining filling over top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, dollop with sour cream, and drizzle with green pepper sauce.

Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cover a large griddle with aluminum foil and preheat to medium-high.

Cook tomatillos, serrano peppers, and garlic on the hot griddle, turning occasionally, until toasted and blackened — about 5 minutes for garlic, 10 minutes for peppers, and 15 minutes for tomatillos. Remove to a bowl and allow to cool.

Heat oil in a small, deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Lightly fry tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil until warmed through, 3 to 5 seconds per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Place toasted tomatillos, serrano peppers, and garlic in a blender. Add water and blend until smooth; pour into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Dissolve chicken bouillon in the mixture, reduce heat, and cook at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Soak tortillas in sauce, one at a time, for a few seconds. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and sprinkle with sauce. Roll up tortillas and place seam-side down in a serving dish.

Spoon a generous amount of sauce over rolled tortillas. Top with lettuce, cilantro, crema, and cotija cheese. Pour remaining sauce on top or serve on the side.
