Enchiladas Verdes Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the shredded chicken, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas on medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Enchiladas
Take a warm tortilla, add a portion of the chicken filling in the center, roll it up tightly, and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
Add Green Sauce
Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour the green salsa evenly over the top, ensuring each enchilada is covered.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the crumbled cheese over the enchiladas.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm with sour cream on top.
