Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 poblano chiles* (8 ounces total)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
12 (5- to 6-inch-diameter) corn tortillas
4 cups salsa verde , divided
2 cups shredded roasted chicken, divided
3/4 cup sour cream, stirred to loosen, divided
6 ounces grated Emmenthal, Muenster, or Mexican Chihuahua cheese (about 1 1/2 cups packed)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Pickled red onions
*Fresh green chiles; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

Steps:

  • Char chiles directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened all over. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed, then cut into 2x1/2-inch strips.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla to skillet; cook until slightly softened, about 15 seconds per side, turning with tongs. Transfer tortilla to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding oil to skillet as needed.
  • Spread 1/2 cup salsa over bottom of 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange 4 tortillas over salsa, covering bottom of dish completely, overlapping slightly, and extending about 1 1/2 inches up sides of dish. Scatter 1 cup chicken over tortillas, then half of poblano strips. Spoon 1 1/2 cups salsa over, spreading evenly. Spoon 1/4 cup sour cream over in small dollops. Cover with 4 tortillas, overlapping slightly. Layer with remaining 1 cup chicken, remaining poblanos, 1 cup salsa, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Cover with remaining 4 tortillas, then 1 cup salsa, and remaining 1/4 cup sour cream. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake casserole until bubbling and cheese is lightly browned, about 35 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces; divide among plates. Sprinkle with cilantro. Spoon pickled red onions alongside; serve.

I loved the salsa verde in these enchiladas. It was so flavorful and tangy. The chicken was also cooked perfectly.

These enchiladas were amazing! The chicken was tender and juicy, the salsa verde was flavorful and tangy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

The enchiladas were good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different salsa. The salsa verde was a bit too tangy for my taste.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The salsa verde was a bit too spicy for me, but the rest of the enchiladas were delicious.
