Green Enchiladas

  • A grateful gringo's totally inauthentic interpretation of a great Mexican classic.
    Makes 8-10 enchiladas, serves 4-5 people
    olive oil
    4 chicken thighs (boneless skinless is easiest)
    2 large white onions
    white wine (optional)
    cumin
    coriander
    paprika
    pepper
    salt
    4 jalapeños (or other green chiles)
    1.5 pounds tomatillos
    1 lime
    4-5 garlic cloves
    1 bunch cilantro
    8 oz Monterey Jack cheese
    8-10 7-inch tortillas (I do flour, you could do corn)
    Fry the chicken thighs in olive oil until browned, and remove. Roughly chop one of the onions and fry it in the same pot until golden. Put in maybe a teaspoon (or more) each of the ground cumin, coriander and paprika, grind in some pepper, and fry the spices for a minute. Put the chicken back in, and cover with about half white wine, half water (or all water if you don't want to use wine). Mix in a pinch of salt. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the chicken is just starting to fall apart, maybe a half hour. Take the chicken out and chop it up into small chunks. Boil the braising liquid down to a thick glaze. Mix the chicken into the glaze.
    For the salsa verde, pre-heat the oven to at least 400 F. Cut the chiles in half, scrape out and discard the seeds (or leave them in if you like it spicy). Husk the tomatillos and cut them in half. Peel the other onion and cut it into a few large chunks. Cut the lime in half - only use one half of it if you don't like your food too acidic. Put the veggies and lime into a wide pan and toss them in olive oil. Put the pan into the oven. While the salsa is roasting, peel the garlic cloves. After the salsa has a bit of color, put in the whole garlic cloves and stir everything around. Continue cooking until the veggies seem half cooked, maybe 20 minutes total. Take the pan out. Squeeze the juice out of the lime and discard. Dump the salsa into a food processor with a handful of cilantro and puree until reasonably smooth. Return the salsa to the wide pan.
    Grate up the cheese. Put maybe half a cup of the salsa into the chicken, along with half of the cheese. Mix up the filling and check for seasoning.
    Grease up a 7x11 inch baking dish. Dunk a tortilla into the salsa, then bring it to the baking dish. Scoop in a modest line of filling, and roll up the tortilla, seam-side down. Repeat until you've filled your baking dish and/or exhausted your filling. Spoon the rest of the salsa on top of the enchiladas, and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese. Bake uncovered until the cheese is browned to your liking, maybe 20 minutes. Top the individual enchiladas with more cilantro, if you're into that.

    What I didn't tell them was that I had forgotten about the lime in the roasting pan and had put it in the food processor with the other veggies, then remembered and fished out the biggest chunks of rind later.
    I think next time I'll zest the lime before roasting to get the same effect on purpose.

    As a Mexican who lives in Mexico, this actually looks pretty good! Definitely not traditional but still looks interesting, I might give it a try, and see what my family thinks! The only thing I would actually change is the tortillas... Flour tortillas are definitely a no go for me and most Mexicans, corn tortillas are truly far superior... I think the reason people in the US don't really like the corn tortillas is because they eat them cold, it's completely different and much better when you eat them right after they're made or if you heat them up in a big pan! For anyone who hasn't tried them, I really urge you to do so, you'll really fall in love with the corn tortillas! :)

      Texas native here and I agree 100% corn tortillas are underrated in non Mexican households. I gotta say that the brand that he used is really good and they make them in flour and in corn and while I use corn for my enchiladas, I *highly recommend* you seek out that brand in particular if you are using flour! I like the difference in brands with corn, flour tortillas on the other hand are seriously funky to me unless theyre la bandarita or made fresh.

    @cesaraguilar593 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For anyone wondering what Adam was talking at the begining, the differences with the traditional Enchiladas in Mexico (at least one way to do it) are the following:
    -Dont actually use the oven at all. The veggies get roasted in a pan. If burned in some parts, better, gives it a smokey texture. Don't over do this tho.
    -The filling is just boiked chicken in strips. Little to no seasoning in this. Just salt. (I like Adams better for this)
    -cornTortillas
    -the tortillas are fried. Giving them a more chewy and stable form. Also allowing for a BIG dunk in the salsa. Now just serve them right after dunking them. Just folded in half with the filling inside.
    -Sour cream and Panela Cheese on the top. That's all. Some add fresh onion stripes on the top.

    I try to comment on videos of recipes I used, but I seem to have missed this one. Okay, anyone who reads this comment: this recipe is amazing. Oh my god. I've made it a few times now and they're great every time The enchiladas freeze great and are perfect for lower quality thighs. Of course I don't mean gross or expired, but if you've bought meat during the pandemic you know: it's getting tough to find pretty food! Also?? The verde salsa recipe is BETTER than Alton's, and I usually defer to him and chef John on these matters. Y'all know wassup. Adam is an amazing cook and we're all lucky he's putting this online!! The wine thing is a joke, I get it, but if y'all would stop meme-ing and start actually using these recipes YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
