Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a small frying pan. Slide the torillas thru with a spatula (one by one) quickly for about 2-3 secs on each side. What you are trying to accomplish with this is for the tortillas to become soft and pliable. Be careful not to harden them by leaving them too long in the oil. Place on a paper towel to drain.
  2. Open the can of tomatillos and drain. In a blender add the tomatillos and cleaned jalapeno. Blend for about 3 minute or until everything is thoroughly mixed. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  3. In a medium pot, add the tomatillo mix and stir under medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste. Turn stove off. Stir in ONLY 1/4 cup of the crema. Reserve 1/2 of this sauce and set aside.
  4. Open and drain can of jalapenos and mix with the shredded chicken. At this point, add the reserved tomatillo mixture to chicken and combine by mixing together.
  5. In a baking sheet, start making enchiladas by adding 2 table spoons of chicken mixture to middle of tortilla and roll. Do this with all the tortillas.Place all the enchiladas side by side in the baking pan.
  6. Pour the remaining tomatillo mixture on top of the enchiladas. Place enchiladas in oven and heat thru for about 5-7 minute.
  7. In a small ziploc bag, place the remaining CREMA. Make a medium-small opening at one corner, in order to squeeze cream thru corner.
  8. Once enchiladas are heated thru, Drizzle crema on top of enchildas in wide and long zig zag motion. Add crumbled queso fresco on top of enchiladas and serve with rice and refried beans.
