Enchiladas Verdes

Clock

Ingredients

  • ½ lb tomatillos (about 4), halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, in their skins
  • 1 large onion, cut into 1-in. thick wedges
  • 1 poblano, halved, seeds discarded
  • 1 jalapeño, halved, seeds discarded
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 7 Tbsp lime juice
  • 4 cups fresh cilantro
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 6 oz Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 

Instructions

  1. Heat broiler. On a large rimmed baking sheet toss tomatillos, garlic, onion, poblano, and jalapeño with oil and ½ tsp each salt and pepper. Broil, rotating pan every 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and charred, 15 minutes total. Reduce temp to 425°F.
  2. Discard skins from poblano and garlic and transfer all vegetables to a blender. Add 3 Tbsp lime juice, 3 cups cilantro and ½ tsp salt and puree until smooth.
  3. In a bowl, toss chicken with scallion and 2 Tbsp lime juice. Fold in ½ cup cilantro and 1 cup cheese.
  4. Spread ½ cup salsa in a 13 x 9-in. baking dish and transfer the rest to a bowl. Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in salsa then fill about ½ cup chicken mixture. Roll the chicken mixture in the tortillas and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat.
  5. Top with the remaining salsa and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss the red onion, remaining 2 Tbsp lime juice and pinch each salt and pepper. Serve over enchiladas and top with cilantro, if desired.
