Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

[Vermin999]

Grilled some boneless chicken thighs

Then chopped them up

Then put them in some home made green chile sauce using some Sandia Hatch chilies

Then started layering.

Three layers of corn tortillas with two layers of chicken, onions and cheese in between. Then topped with some more sauce and a heavy layer of cheese on top.

Back on the grill just to heat everything through.

Plated with some sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes with a side of refried beans.

Excellent v9. I'd really appreciate it if you would share the green chili recipe.

To make the sauce I usually use Jalapenoes and serrano peppers but have a bunch of hatch chiles so I used them this time around.

My usual sauce uses
about 10 to 12 jalapenos,
10 to 12 tomatillos,
around 6 seraanos,
3 to 6 toes of garlic
half a bunch of cilantro
1/2 an onion
water
salt to taste.

Roast peppers and tomatillos just enough to blister the skin and soften them, then place them in a plastic bag or airtight container for no less than 15 minutes. Remove from bag and remove skins, it should be real easy to remove and then remove seeds and membranes from peppers depending on how hot you want them. Add rest of ingredients into a blender and blend until everything is mixed. Add salt to taste and add water to get desired viscosity of sauce.

Hey Vermin, do you fry the tortillas in oil before you layer them in the pan? I've seen some posts where that is done but I'm not sure if that's the preferred way of building an enchilada. I think it's done to keep the tortilla from getting mushy and falling apart. What's your thought on this?

I have tried dipping the tortillas in sauce then frying them, frying them then dipping in sauce, just warming them up on the grill or gas stove (probably my favorite way) or just using them as is , what I did this time around.
