Ingredients

16 oz salsa verde
1 cup Mexican crema
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic
10 oz cooked, shredded chicken (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup neutral oil
12 corn tortillas
2 cups monterey jack cheese
Queso fresco, jalapeno slices, thinly sliced onion, avocado, etc for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Combine the salsa verde, Mexican crema and cilantro in a blender. Pulse until smooth.
16 oz salsa verde, 1 cup Mexican crema, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup diced onion, 2 cloves garlic
Stir the chicken into the onion and cook for a minute or two, just to warm up slightly. Remove from the heat.
10 oz cooked, shredded chicken
Heat the neutral oil in a small skillet. Once hot, add one tortilla to the oil, cooking for a few seconds on each side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
1/4 cup neutral oil, 12 corn tortillas
Pour half of the salsa mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Add about 1 tablespoon of the cheese down the center of one tortilla. Top with some of the chicken mixture. Roll the tortilla up and place in the baking dish, seam side down.
2 cups monterey jack cheese
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, using up all of the chicken.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Top with the remaining cheese.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through, about 20-25 minutes.
Serve topped with queso fresco, jalapeños, onion, or avocado slices.
