Main Ingredients

Green Sauce

Method

Preparation of Green Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook Tomatillos

    In a saucepan, combine tomatillos, jalapeño, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until tomatillos are soft.

  2. 2

    Blend Sauce

    Drain the tomatillos and transfer them to a blender. Add garlic, onion, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat Sauce

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 4

    Prepare Tortillas

    In a skillet, warm each corn tortilla over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Stuff Tortillas

    Place about 1/4 cup of shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with some cilantro and a small amount of Monterey Jack cheese.

  3. 6

    Roll Enchiladas

    Carefully roll up each tortilla around the filling and place seam side down in a greased baking dish.

  4. 7

    Top with Sauce

    Pour the green sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top.

  5. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
