Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups water
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
4 fresh poblano chilies
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts, garlic, onion, water, and chicken bouillon into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes. When finished, remove the chicken to a plate to cool. Measure out 1 cup of the chicken broth and discard the rest.
  • Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame, or underneath a broiler until the skin has blackened on all sides. Place the chiles into a plastic bag, or a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and allow to steam as they cool, about 30 minutes. When cool, peel the blackened skin off of the pepper, and remove the seeds and membrane.
  • Place the reserved chicken broth into a blender along with the roasted poblanos and sour cream. Puree until smooth and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time until softened and beginning to crisp. Place onto a plate and set aside. Pour the pureed poblano mixture into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes. While the sauce is cooking, slice the cooled chicken breasts into 1/4 inch strips.
  • Using tongs, dip a tortilla into the sauce, coating both sides. Place some of the chicken in the center of the tortilla, roll tightly, then place on a serving dish with the seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining sauce over top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Portobello mushrooms add hearty flavor to these creamy vegetarian enchiladas. Since poblano chiles vary in spiciness, use a milder chile, such as Anaheim, if you prefer a dish with less kick.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect enchilada sauce, start with a flavorful base of roasted poblano peppers. Char the peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened. Then, wrap the peppers in a damp paper towel and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will help to loosen the skin and make it easier to peel.
  • Once the peppers are peeled, remove the seeds and ribs. Then, puree the peppers in a blender with some chicken broth, garlic, onion, and spices.
  • For the filling, use a combination of cooked chicken, spinach, and cheese. Season the filling generously with salt, pepper, and cumin.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce and then fill it with the chicken-spinach mixture. Roll up the tortillas and place them in a baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Spinach poblano enchiladas are a delicious and satisfying meal that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their creamy spinach filling, flavorful poblano sauce, and melted cheese, these enchiladas are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
