I used several chicken enchilada recipes and made up my own! We just started growing tomatillos and are finding many ways to use them!

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds tomatillos, husked and cut in half
2 bunches green onions, ends trimmed
5 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
4 cloves garlic, or more to taste
2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chicken stock
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
12 corn tortillas
4 cups cubed cooked chicken
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup crumbled queso fresco

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine tomatillos, green onions, jalapeno peppers, and garlic together in a baking dish.
  • Roast vegetables in the preheated oven until softened and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C)
  • Pour roasted vegetables, cilantro, chicken stock, lime juice, and salt into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until a smooth salsa consistency is reached.
  • Place 6 tortillas, overlapping, in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover tortillas with 1/2 the chicken. Top chicken with 1/2 the mozzarella cheese and pour 1/2 the salsa over the cheese. Repeat layering process with remaining tortillas, chicken, mozzarella cheese, and salsa. Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 25 minutes.

The chicken enchiladas verdes were a bit bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sour cream.
