Meats,Poultry And Seafood : Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce


Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce

Green chilies, lime juice, and tart tomatillos give refreshing character to the sauce for these make-ahead chicken enchiladas

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound jack cheese
  • Chicken filling (recipe follows)
  • Tomatillo sauce (recipe follows)
  • Salad oil 12 corn tortillas (each 6 to 7 inches in diameter)
  • Toppings (suggestions follow)


METHOD

Insert shredding disc. Shred cheese as directed on page 8; set aside. Prepare filling and sauce.

Into a small frying pan, pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch; heat over medium-high heat until oil rip¬ples when pan is tilted. Add one tortilla and cook just until it begins to brown (about 5 seconds per side). Lift out and lay flat on paper towels. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling down center of hot tortilla and roll to enclose. Place filled tortilla, seam side down, on a 10 by 15-inch rimmed bak¬ing sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. (At this point, you may cover enchiladas with foil and refrigerate until next day.)

Bake enchiladas, covered, in a 350° oven until hot throughout (about 15 minutes; about 30 min¬utes if refrigerated). Uncover and sprinkle with 2 cups of the cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted (about 10 more minutes).

While enchiladas bake, prepare toppings. To serve, spoon about 3/4 cup sauce onto each of 6 warmed dinner plates; set 2 enchiladas atop sauce on each plate. Pass toppings at the table. Makes 6 servings.

Chicken filling. Insert metal blade. Chop 2 whole chicken breasts (cooked, skinned, boned, and cut into chunks). Transfer to a mixing bowl; add 2 cups of the shredded jack cheese, 1 can (7 02.) diced green chilies, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano leaves, and salt to taste.

Tomatillo sauce. Insert metal blade. Chop 2 medium-size onions. Heat 6 tablespoons salad oil in a 3 to 4-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stir¬ring, until soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in 1 can (7 oz,) diced green chilies, 2 cans (13 oz. each) toma-tillos (drained well), 1 cup regular-strength chicken broth, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 teaspoons each oregano leaves and sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes to blend fla¬vors. Season to taste with salt. Pour into work bowl, a portion at a time (or all at once in a large-capacity processor); process continuously until pureed. If made ahead, cover and refriger¬ate until next day. Reheat before serving.

Toppings. Insert slicing disc. Shred 1/2 head iceberg lettuce; place in a bowl. Also offer lime slices, sour cream, fresh cilantro (coriander), guacamole, and grated Parmesan cheese
