2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chicken stock
1 lime, juiced

SPICY ENCHILADAS VERDES DE QUESO



SPICY Enchiladas Verdes de Queso image

My mother-in-law hails from the small town of Alpoyeca, Guerrero in Mexico. She makes the most delicious Enchiladas Verdes, and I wanted to share this authentic Mexican recipe with everyone. A word of warning, I am not going to alter her recipe so people who can't handle spiciness might want to add more water or less jalapenos. Enjoy!

Time 1h40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
3 fresh tomatillos, husks removed - stemmed and halved
½ yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
water, or as needed to cover
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cubes chicken bouillon
1 sprig fresh cilantro
vegetable oil
20 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 (12 ounce) package queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese), shredded
½ head lettuce, shredded
1 small red onion, chopped
5 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place jalapeno peppers, tomatillos, yellow onion, garlic, and cumin in a blender; pour in enough water to cover the vegetables. Blend until liquified, about 1 minute.
  • Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat just until oil has begun to warm, about 30 seconds; pour the blended jalapeno mixture into the oil. Stir in chicken bouillon cubes and cilantro. Reduce heat to medium and cook sauce for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove green sauce from heat and allow to stand while you complete remaining steps.
  • Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a tongs, place each tortilla into the hot oil and fry for a few seconds on each side. Tortillas will be pliable; do not overcook.
  • Immerse the fried tortilla into the green sauce to coat; place tortilla on a serving plate. Sprinkle tortilla with about 2 teaspoons shredded queso fresco cheese and roll into a thin enchilada. It's easiest if one person is frying tortillas while another person dips in sauce, fills with cheese, and rolls the tortillas.
  • Place enchiladas onto serving plates; spoon with remaining green sauce and sprinkle with remaining queso fresco cheese. Spread shredded lettuce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with chopped red onion. Top servings with a tablespoon of sour cream.

BEST CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDE EVER



BEST Chicken Enchiladas Verde EVER image

Found this on YouTube a few years back. It was done by a chef. I can't find it on there anymore & keep misplacing my written recipe. Figured I'd load it here for safe keeping. Although there are several similar recipes here I didn't find any quite like this one. It's great tasting & if you're in a hurry you can use a roasted chicken from the store! Prep time includes 1 hour to cook chicken if needed. If you get the precooked from the store it only takes me about 15 minutes to shred, mix & roll

SPICY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDE



Spicy Chicken Enchiladas Verde image

This is a recipe that was in USA weekend, Jan26-28th. That's the magazine that comes in the Sunday paper. I tried this, and we loved it. I cut the recipe in half, and it still made 8 enchiladas. And also, I used just simple salsa in place of the salsa verde that was called for.I had made a rotisserie chicken on Saturday, and had the two thighs leftover. It made plenty of chicken for the following recipe.I also used dried cilantro and guessed at the amount.I used low carb tortillas also.I chopped the onion fine and added it with the chicken.Serves 4, with two enchiladas each.
