  • 28 ounces Salsa verde (tomatillo sauce)
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 0.5 cup Sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of the salsa verde and the sour cream to keep the filling moist.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 5-10 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Dip a softened tortilla into the remaining salsa verde to coat lightly.

  5. 5

    Place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  6. 6

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  7. 7

    Pour the remaining salsa verde over the assembled enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

  8. 8

    Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

  9. 9

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and red onion before serving.
