Enchiladas in Green Sauce
Serves: 6 to 8
Recipe for the sauce can be found here.
Ingredients for the enchiladas:- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (home cooked or rotisserie works great!)
- Oil for frying the tortillas
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco, farmers cheese, or cotija cheese
Preparation:
In a large saute pan over medium heat, add enough oil to have about 1/2 inch depth. Let it heat about 3 minutes. Gently "pass each tortilla through the oil," one by one, for about 15 seconds on each side, they will soften and become resilient. You should be able to fold them without breaking them. Transfer them to a paper towel covered plate.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Place about 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken inside of each tortilla and roll them up. Place them, seam side down on a baking dish. Cover, generously, with the green sauce. Place them in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven, sprinkle with the crumbled cheese.
