Ingredients

For the enchilada sauce:

  • 2 Poblano peppers ,
  • 2 Serrrano peppers , stemmed and seeded to taste
  • 1.5 pounds of tomatillos , husks removed and rinsed well
  • 1 cup of fresh cilantro , rough chopped
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1.5 cups of sour cream

To assemble:

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 3 cups of shredded chicken
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese (queso Oaxaca or mozzarella)

Instructions

For the enchilada sauce:

  • Preheat broiler to high
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the poblanos, serrano, and tomatillos on the baking sheet
  • Place the sheet within 6 inches of the broiler and broil until browned, flipping halfway between (tomatillos will require less time, about 7 minutes and peppers about 15 minutes
  • When everything is charred and blistered, transfer to a gallon-sized plastic bag, and seal until cooled allowing everything to steam (this makes it easier to skin the peppers)
  • When cool enough to handle, peel skins from tomatillos and chilis and seed poblanos. Seed serranos to taste (they are very hot, so seed accordingly)
  • Place roasted chilis, tomatillos, garlic, cumin, sour cream, and cilantro into blender and blend until smooth

To assemble and bake:

  • Heat tortillas briefly in the microwave to soften (about 15 seconds).
  • Mix 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce with the chicken and combine well.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture over each tortilla and then roll each one up.
  • Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish with a thin layer of enchilada sauce and then top with shredded cheese.
  • Reserve the remaining enchilada sauce for serving.
  • Bake the enchiladas for 25 minutes, until cheese melts.
