ENCHILADAS VERDES



Enchiladas Verdes image

I learned this recipe from an amazing cook from Puebla. I've been perfecting it for over 15 years and realized that it was time to share it when my foodie friends tried to drink the sauce out of the saucepan. I use the roasted or baked chicken from the grocery store. I did it once only to save time, but found that they are tastier. Be conservative with the cream and the cheese. Do not use sour cream!

Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cloves garlic
3 serrano peppers
2 ¼ pounds small green tomatillos, husks removed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
9 corn tortillas
3 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
½ store-bought rotisserie chicken, meat removed and shredded
¼ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 (8 ounce) container Mexican crema, crema fresca
1 cup grated cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Cover a large griddle with aluminum foil and preheat to medium-high.
  • Cook the garlic, serrano peppers, and tomatillos on the hot griddle until toasted and blackened, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes for the garlic, 10 minutes for the peppers, and 15 minutes for the tomatillos. Remove to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Heat oil in a small, deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Using kitchen tongs, fry the tortillas individually, turning them once. They shouldn't be in the hot oil for more than 5 seconds per side. Remove excess oil with paper towels and keep warm. Remember that the hotter the oil, the less that the tortillas will absorb.
  • Place the toasted garlic, serrano peppers, tomatillos, and the water in a blender and blend until smooth; pour into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Dissolve the chicken bouillon into the mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. The sauce shouldn't be too thick.
  • Soak three tortillas in the sauce, one at a time, for a few seconds, fill them with shredded chicken, sprinkle the meat with some of the sauce, roll them and place them seam side down on a pasta bowl. Spoon a generous amount of sauce over them and top them with lettuce, cilantro, crema, and cotija cheese. Pour a little more sauce over the whole thing if desired. Repeat the procedure twice more. Serve immediately.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS VERDES



Authentic Mexican Enchiladas Verdes image

My sister-in-law was born and raised in Mexico City. She taught me how to make these. They take some time, but for those of us who love to cook and enjoy the fruits of our labor - this will be a real treat. You will need a blender or food processor for the sauce. This recipe makes 24 enchiladas. Enough for a crowd, or to freeze. If you are going to take this much time, you may as well have plenty! It can be halved, if you prefer. The sauce and stuffing can be prepared in advance.

AUTHENTIC ENCHILADAS VERDES



Authentic Enchiladas Verdes image

These enchiladas are made with a fresh green salsa, just like you would find in a Mexican restaurant or better yet, in a Mexican home.

Provided by PattiVerde

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 bone-in chicken breast halves
2 cups chicken broth
¼ white onion
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
5 serrano peppers
¼ white onion
1 clove garlic
1 pinch salt
12 corn tortillas
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup crumbled queso fresco
½ white onion, chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine chicken breast with chicken broth, one quarter onion, a clove of garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 20 minutes. Reserve broth, set chicken aside to cool, and discard onion and garlic. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with your hands.
  • Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a pot with water, enough to cover them. Bring to boil, and continue boiling until tomatillos turn a different shade of green (from bright green to a dull, army green). Strain tomatillos and chiles, and place in a blender with another quarter piece of onion, 1 clove garlic, and a pinch of salt. Pour in reserved chicken broth, so that liquid just covers the veggies in the blender by about an inch. Blend all ingredients until they are completely pureed. Pour salsa in a medium saucepan, and bring to a low boil.
  • Pour oil in a frying pan, and allow to get very hot. Slightly fry tortillas one by one in hot oil, setting each on a paper towel afterwards to soak some of the oil. Finally, dip slightly fried tortillas in low-boiling green salsa, until tortillas become soft again. Place on plates, 3 per person.
  • Fill or top tortillas with shredded chicken, then extra green sauce. Top with crumbled cheese, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro.

ENCHILADAS VERDE



Enchiladas Verde image

Authentic recipe for enchiladas verde learned in a Mexican home kitchen in Guanajuato, Mexico. The salsa can also be used for dip, for chilaquiles, or thinned with broth and used as a base for pozole verde. This recipe is light and delicate with a well-defined mix of flavors. If you're not used to authentic Mexican enchiladas, these are not as gooey as those found in the US, but quite flavorful and easier to make. Plan on serving them immediately after assembly--they do NOT go into the oven!

Provided by Guanajuato Chef

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 enchiladas, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (Leftover turkey also works well.)
2 -3 garlic cloves, halved
1/2 medium onion, quartered
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
20 medium tomatillos
1/2 medium onion, quartered
2 -3 garlic cloves
3 serrano chilies, seeds, stem and ribs removed (more if you want more heat)
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (one large bunch)
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
12 white corn tortillas (or up to 16)
1 cup queso fresco (Mexican style cheese) or 1 cup queso anejo (Mexican style cheese)
1/2 cup sour cream thinned with milk or 1/2 cup cream
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaf (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breast in a pot of water with 1/2 onion and 2-3 garlic cloves. Season with a little salt and/or a small amount of powdered chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is thoroughly cooked and shreds easily. Keep warm once cooked.
  • Remove the outer husk from tomatillos, wash and place in a large pot of water with the serrano chiles. Bring to a boil and cook just until tomatillos change color to a dull olive green--no more than 5-10 minutes.
  • Puree the tomatillos in a blender, adding the serrano chiles, and remaining garlic and onion. Add the cilantro and pulse until well blended. Pour into a saucepot, taste for seasonings, and add about a tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder if needed. Heat thoroughly, but do not overcook.
  • Remove chicken from water, place it on a cutting board and using two forks or your fingers, shred finely along the natural grain lines of the meat. Keep warm in a bowl, and add a few drops of cooking water if needed to keep it moist.
  • Heat tortillas on a griddle or in the microwave. Spread about a tablespoon of sauce on a tortilla, add enough chicken to fill it, roll up the tortilla and place seam side down on the serving platter or individual dinner plates. Repeat, placing enchiladas close together. Pour sauce over the enchiladas, and garnish with a few tablespoons of cream, some shredded cheese, the lettuce, tomato and cilantro. (Unlike enchiladas north of the border, these do not go into the oven--they are served immediately upon making.).
  • Extra sauce can be used in other recipes.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS



Authentic Mexican Enchiladas image

This is the real thing! Corn tortillas are dipped in a home made sauce, fried, filled with Mexican queso fresco, then topped with sour cream, lettuce and tomato. My mother in law is from Mexico and taught me to make this delicious dish! Serve with authentic refried beans, it has a taste different from the norm--so good!

Provided by Becky

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 dried chile de arbol peppers
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup water
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
18 (6 inch) corn tortillas
3 cups crumbled queso fresco
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Snap the tops off of the dried chilies, and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water, and place chilies into a food processor or blender with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth. Press sauce through a strainer, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Soak each tortilla in the sauce, then place in the hot oil. Turn over almost immediately, and fry for about 5 seconds on the other side. Remove to a plate that is lined with paper towels. The easiest way to do this is to fry the tortillas and stack them directly on top of each other until you have fried them all. This will keep the tortillas pliable until you are ready to fill them.
  • Take one fried tortilla at a time, and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the queso fresco. Roll up, and place seam side down on a plate. Place three of these on each plate. Top in the following order: Start with a layer of sour cream, then a small handful of lettuce, three tomato slices, 2 more tablespoons of queso fresco, and finally, 1 tablespoon of green onions.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 Anaheim chile peppers
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups buttermilk, divided
2 teaspoons salt, or as needed
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup canola oil for frying
12 (6 inch) white corn tortillas, or more as needed
1 white onion, diced
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

½ cup Mexican crema (cream)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  • Broil peppers in the preheated oven until skins begin to blister and turn black, about 5 minutes. Turn peppers and repeat until other side is evenly blistered and blackened.

  • Blend peppers, flour, and 2 cups buttermilk in a blender until creamy. Transfer to a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add remaining 2 cups buttermilk and stir. Season with salt. Simmer until sauce is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add chicken. Boil until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 25 minutes. Drain, cool, and shred chicken.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry corn tortillas in hot oil, working in batches, until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Pour about 1 cup of pepper enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken, diced onion, and 1 to 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese. Roll tortilla around the filling and place seam-side down into the pepper enchilada sauce in the baking dish. Top enchiladas with remaining pepper sauce, remaining Monterey Jack cheese, and queso fresco.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with Mexican crema to serve.

Enchiladas Verdes Con Pollo As Made By Cuco Recipe by Tasty image

Recording artist Cuco teams up with Tasty to make his favorite recipe: Enchiladas Verdes Con Pollo. If you like your enchiladas spicy, increase the number of serrano peppers.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb medium tomatillo, husks removed
½ medium white onion, halved
1 serrano pepper, stemmed
3 cloves garlic
water, as needed
½ bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and soft stems roughly chopped, plus more leaves for garnish - about 1 cup (40 G)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
½ cup low sodium chicken stock
¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
12 thick slices corn tortilla
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
5 oz queso fresco, crumbled
¼ medium white onion, finely chopped, for garnish
2 tablespoons mexican crema, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the tomatillos, onion, serrano peppers, and garlic to a medium saucepan. Pour in enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the vegetables are very tender and the tomatillos have changed color, 8-10 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender and discard the cooking liquid. Purée the vegetables until broken down. Add the chopped cilantro, salt, and chicken stock. Blend the salsa until smooth. It should be speckled and thick.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the salsa verde to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cook until the salsa deepens in color and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the salsa into a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Working 2 at a time, fry the tortillas for 1 minute per side, until starting to brown but not completely fried. They should be crisp around the edges but still pliable enough to roll. Transfer the tortillas to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Set a rack in the center of the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Spread ½ cup of the salsa verde over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: Dip a tortilla in the remaining salsa verde so both sides are coated. Place the tortilla on a flat surface and add about 4 tablespoons of shredded chicken to the center. Roll tightly. Place the filled tortilla, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Pour any remaining salsa over the top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the queso fresco.
  • Broil the enchiladas until the cheese is just melted, 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve the enchiladas warm with the diced onion, Mexican crema, and cilantro leaves for topping
  • Enjoy!

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!

Provided by red5

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

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.
