Oven-baked chicken enchiladas

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups frozen chopped kale
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded grilled chicken, skin removed (about 170 g)
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 and 3/4 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 200 g)
  • 1 jar (450 g) tomatillo salsa
  • 0.5 cups heavy cream
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Fresh cilantro and sour cream, for serving

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to grill mode.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and cumin and cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl (do not wash the skillet).
  3. Add the chicken, half of the green onions, and 3/4 cup of cheese to the same bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  4. Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the salsa, heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of water, reduce the heat to medium, and bring to a boil. Briefly dip the tortillas in the sauce and place them on a baking sheet.
  5. Divide the chicken filling evenly between the tortillas and roll into tubes.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of sauce from the skillet; arrange the enchiladas, seam-side down, in the skillet. Drizzle with the remaining sauce.
  7. Broil in the oven until the enchiladas are crisp and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheese and broil until bubbly, about 1 minute.
  8. Sprinkle with remaining green onions, avocado pieces, cilantro and drizzle with sour cream.
