Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds whole, unhusked tomatillos
3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 serrano chiles
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 pound Mexican sausage (recommended: longaniza or chorizo), minced
12 corn tortillas
1 white onion, minced
1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves
1 cup sour cream
4 poblano or Anaheim chiles, roasted, sweated, peeled, seeded, de-veined, and cut into strips
12 cilantro sprigs, washed and dried

Steps:

  • Blanch the tomatillos in 1 quart boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and save 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Set aside, cool, and remove husks. Place tomatillos in a blender with the garlic, salt, and serrano chiles. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons cooking liquid and blend on high speed for 10 seconds. Set sauce aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Mexican sausage and fry until browned and completely cooked through. Transfer sausage to paper towels to drain and set aside.
  • Simmer sauce for 5 minutes in a pan wide enough to dip tortillas. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over high flame. With tongs, dip 1 tortilla at a time in the hot oil for a few seconds to coat and heat and then dip the tortilla in tomatillo sauce. Place on a serving plate and fill with 1/12th of the Mexican sausage, 1 tablespoon minced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon minced cilantro. Roll the tortilla into the shape of an enchilada. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top with sauce, sour cream, strips of green chile, and a cilantro sprig. Serve immediately.

These tacos were a disaster. I don't recommend them.

The filling was too runny. I think I'll cook it down a bit longer next time.

These tacos were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I had a hard time finding crema Mexicana. I ended up using sour cream instead.

The tortillas were a bit soggy. I think I'll try frying them next time.

These tacos were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using a lighter cream sauce next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cream sauces, but I really enjoyed the filling in these tacos. It was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I always have some on hand in the freezer.
