Chicken Enchiladas Recipes – Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde
Enchiladas are a great meal! They are easy, delicious and certainly affordable! Here’s a nice video on how to make this version with salsa verde instead of the customary red sauce. Here is what you are going to need for this:
4 chicken thighs
8 corn tortillas
2 medium Spring onions, whites and light greens thinly sliced; green
parts finely chopped for garnish
1 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup green salsa, home made or store bought
1 cup cream
4 oz. shredded Mexican cheese
Rinse the chicken thighs and place in a pot with water. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 trimmed scallion and 3 garlic
cloves, halved. Cook until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken, skin and shred. Strain chicken broth, cool and freeze for future use.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Warm tortillas individually on stove or in a pile, wrapped in paper towel in the microwave.
Place 1/8th of the chicken in the middle of a tortilla. Roll. Place in a casserole dish. Proceed with all the other tortillas.
Sprinkle the slices onions on the tortillas, in an even layer.
Sprinkle ¾ cups of the chopped cilantro on top of the onions.
Evenly spread the salsa verde over the cilantro.
Repeat with the cream.
Place an even layer of cheese over the cream.
Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Serve garnished with the remaining chopped cilantro and green onion.
Enjoy

Please tell me what kind of cream you need for your chicken enchiladas? Whipped cream, cold cream, coffee cream, or sour cream or something else. Also what is a scallion? Where in the store can I find? Gracias

Hi Lisa!
Thank you for coming by my site! You can use sour cream or Mexican cream for this recipe. Scallions are small green onions (cebollita verde). You will find them with the vegetables. Hope they come out great! Have a wonderful New Year!

Do you think you can replace plain yogurt for the cream?
