Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 poblano chiles* (8 ounces total)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
12 (5- to 6-inch-diameter) corn tortillas
4 cups salsa verde , divided
2 cups shredded roasted chicken, divided
3/4 cup sour cream, stirred to loosen, divided
6 ounces grated Emmenthal, Muenster, or Mexican Chihuahua cheese (about 1 1/2 cups packed)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Pickled red onions
*Fresh green chiles; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

Steps:

  • Char chiles directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened all over. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed, then cut into 2x1/2-inch strips.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla to skillet; cook until slightly softened, about 15 seconds per side, turning with tongs. Transfer tortilla to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding oil to skillet as needed.
  • Spread 1/2 cup salsa over bottom of 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange 4 tortillas over salsa, covering bottom of dish completely, overlapping slightly, and extending about 1 1/2 inches up sides of dish. Scatter 1 cup chicken over tortillas, then half of poblano strips. Spoon 1 1/2 cups salsa over, spreading evenly. Spoon 1/4 cup sour cream over in small dollops. Cover with 4 tortillas, overlapping slightly. Layer with remaining 1 cup chicken, remaining poblanos, 1 cup salsa, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Cover with remaining 4 tortillas, then 1 cup salsa, and remaining 1/4 cup sour cream. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake casserole until bubbling and cheese is lightly browned, about 35 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces; divide among plates. Sprinkle with cilantro. Spoon pickled red onions alongside; serve.

I'm not usually a fan of enchiladas, but these were really good! The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the salsa verde was a nice touch. I would definitely make these again.

These enchiladas were a disaster! The chicken was tough and overcooked, and the salsa verde was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought these enchiladas were just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the salsa verde was bland. I wouldn't make these again.

These enchiladas were easy to make and tasted great! The salsa verde was a bit spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I would definitely make these again, but I would use a milder salsa verde next time.
