Salsa Verde Enchiladas

To make this process go as smooth as possible, start by prepping all your ingredients.

Place the salsa verde in a shallow dish. Combine the cheeses in another bowl. Set 1 cup of the cheese mixture in another bowl for later. In a separate bowl, place the cooked and shredded/cubed chicken.

Now, you’re going to fry the tortillas. Warm the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Use enough oil to fully cover the bottom of the pan. You’ll know the oil is hot enough when you place a tortilla in the oil and it sizzles. This should only take a few minutes. Don’t, however, get the oil too hot, or it’ll start smoking.

Once the oil is hot, gently place a tortilla in the pan. Use tongs to flip the tortilla onto the other side. The tortillas are done when both sides are lightly golden. You don’t want to cook them too long, or you won’t be able to roll them up. Remove the cooked tortilla to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas are fried.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Take one tortilla at a time and dip both sides into the salsa verde. Now place 1 ½ tablespoon of chicken into the middle of the tortilla. Next, place 1 ½ tablespoons of the cheese mixture on top of the chicken. Roll it up and place it seam down in a 9 x 13 in glass pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Once all the tortillas are in the pan, evenly spoon another ½ cup of the salsa verde over the tortillas.

Now pour the heavy cream over the whole dish and then top with the reserved 1 cup of cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.

Serve immediately with your choice of extra toppings: cilantro, sour cream, more salsa verde or maybe a side of rice, beans, and chips!
