Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 medium Tomatillos
- 2 medium Poblano peppers
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons (to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (to taste) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water. Roast the tomatillos, poblano peppers, jalapeño, and onion (cut into quarters) on a baking sheet under the broiler for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are blistered and slightly charred.
Once roasted, remove the poblano peppers and jalapeño, place them in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap for 5 minutes to steam. Peel off their skins, remove the seeds, and set aside.
In a blender, combine the roasted tomatillos, onion, peeled peppers, garlic, cilantro, chicken broth, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over the stove flame until pliable. Spoon a generous amount of shredded chicken into the center of each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour the creamy tomatillo sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each is well-covered. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro or slices of fresh jalapeño for an extra kick, if desired.
Serve warm with a side of rice, beans, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Neo Enchiladas Suizas!
