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.

I'm allergic to chicken, so I'm not sure if I can make these enchiladas. Do you think I could substitute another type of meat, like beef or pork?

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but these enchiladas look really good. I might have to give them a try.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these enchiladas didn't turn out very well. The chicken was dry and the green sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said the chicken was tender and the green sauce had a great flavor. I would probably make these again, but I would use less chili peppers next time.

I'm not a huge fan of green sauce, but these enchiladas were still really good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely make these again, but I might use a different sauce next time.

These enchiladas were delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the green sauce was flavorful without being too spicy. I will definitely be making these again!

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The chicken and green sauce are a perfect match, and the cheese adds a nice richness. I also appreciate that this recipe is relatively easy to make.

These chicken enchiladas verdes were a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the green sauce had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making these again.
