ROASTED POBLANO AND CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Poblano and Chicken Enchiladas With Sour Cream Sauce image

Love this recipe!!! This is a combination of recipes that Dh and I came up with. It's my filling recipe and his sauce recipe. This looks like a lot of work, but really it's not. I usually make the filling up ahead of time and then all I have to do is roll them and make the sauce. Serve with black beans and spanish rice! Enjoy!!

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups rotisserie-cooked chicken
2 poblano peppers, roasted and chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
10 soft taco-size flour tortillas
1/4 cup green onion, finely sliced
1 large shallot, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 serrano peppers (optional) or 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons flour
8 ounces sour cream
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • To roast the peppers: Cut poblano peppers in half, remove all seeds and stem. Roast poblano peppers at 450 degrees until skin begins to blister and turn black in spots, this should take about 10-15 minutes. ***I save the plastic produce sack the peppers came in and when they come out of the oven, I place them in the sack and seal the sack. Let sit 5-10 minutes. The steam from inside will loosen the black skin. Pick what you can of the black parts off, then chop the peppers.
  • Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  • To make the sour cream enchilada sauce: Saute shallot, garlic and peppers in butter over medium heat in a large skillet until veggies soften. Add spices. Cook for another minute.
  • Combine sour cream and flour well. Add to skillet along with chicken broth. Wisk to combine. (It'll look a little funny for a minute, but don't worry!) Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat, wisk and simmer until sauce is thick and creamy.
  • Add 3/4 cup of enchy sauce to the filling mixture. Combine well.
  • In a greased 13x9 casserole, coat the bottom of dish with 1/2 cup of enchy sauce.
  • Place 1/4 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in casserole. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Top casserole with remaining enchy sauce.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until warm and bubbly!
  • Garnish with green onions.

Tips:

  • Roast the poblano peppers properly: Roasting the poblano peppers is an important step that brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until their skins are blackened. Once the peppers are roasted, transfer them to a bowl and cover them with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes, then peel and seed them.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the sauce: A food processor or blender will help you to create a smooth and creamy sauce. Add the roasted poblano peppers, garlic, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is blended, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, lime juice, or cilantro. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder for a little heat.
  • Use the sauce as a marinade, dipping sauce, or condiment: Roasted poblano sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. Use it as a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. Or, you can simply drizzle it over tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.
