Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 medium poblano peppers
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 jalapeno, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
12 medium-large tomatillos, peeled, rinsed and quartered
2 small handfuls cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palmful
2 teaspoons honey
1 quart chicken stock-in-a-box
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lime, juiced
2 pounds cooked chicken, meat pulled or shredded
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas or 16 (5-inch) corn tortillas, softened over flame or dry skillet
1 cup Mexican crema, creme fraiche or sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (from about 1/2 pound piece)
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (from about 1/2 pound piece)
Raw red onion rings, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to high. Arrange the poblanos on a sheet pan, put them under the hot broiler and char until blackened an all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Leave the door of the oven cracked to allow the steam to escape. Peppers can also be easily charred over and open stovetop flame if you have gas burners. Put the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to sit until cool enough to handle. Peel and seed the peppers.
  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno, onions, and garlic and cook until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Put the tomatillos and a small handful of cilantro in a food processor. Coarsely chop the poblanos and add them to the processor. Process until almost a smooth sauce forms, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Stir in the cumin, honey and stock, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes, then add the lime juice and turn off the heat.
  • Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a medium casserole. Layer in 3 flour tortillas or 4 corn tortillas then top with some shredded chicken, dot with some sauce and small spoonfuls of Mexican crema, creme fraiche or sour cream and sprinkle with a little Swiss and Jack cheeses. Repeat twice more. Cool and chill for a make-ahead meal.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the casserole on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and bubbly on top, about 40 to 50 minutes. The baking sheet will catch any drips of sauce or cheese. Garnish the stacked enchilada casserole with raw red onion rings and serve.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a dairy-free cheese alternative. It turned out great!

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the creamy enchilada sauce and didn't even notice the spinach.

I made this casserole in a slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. It was so easy to just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and have dinner ready when I got home from work.

I'm not a fan of Swiss cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. It turned out great!

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time I make it.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I make a roasted chicken, and this is a great way to use them up.

I made this casserole exactly as the recipe said, but it turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This roast chicken enchilada casserole was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the enchilada sauce was creamy and cheesy. I loved the combination of flavors and textures in this dish.
