Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos, jalapeños, sugar, salt, cumin and ⅓ cup water; bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tomatillos are softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender and purée until completely smooth. Set aside.
- Place the chicken tenderloins in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the cumin, smoked paprika and salt. Toss with tongs until the chicken is evenly coated with the spice blend.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan until shimmering but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook until just done, about 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate to cool. Do not rinse the pan. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces. (All tenderloins have a tough tendon running through them; just remove it.) Add the shredded chicken to the pan with the onions, along with the chopped cilantro and shredded cheese.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spread ¾ cup of the tomatillo sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the oil into a small bowl or ramekin. Using a pastry brush (or your hands), brush both sides of each tortilla with oil, then stack them on a plate and microwave until hot and steamy, 1½ - 2 minutes. This makes them pliable.
- Spoon about ⅓ cup of the filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place side by side in the baking dish, seam side down.
- Pour the remaining chili sauce over the top, and use the back of a spoon to spread evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle the cheese down the center of the enchiladas. Bake until hot and bubbling, 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle the smoked paprika down the center of the enchiladas and serve immediately with sour cream, lettuce, avocado and lime wedges. (The nutritional information below does not include the sour cream, romaine lettuce or avocado used to top the enchiladas.)
- Note: If you touch the seeds of the jalapeño pepper, just be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked enchiladas can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, defrost them in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then reheat, covered in foil, in a 325°F oven until hot.

SPICY CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH TOMATILLO SALSA
Delicious variation of traditional chicken enchiladas. I like to make the tomatillo salsa and tortillas from scratch! We cook up the chicken on the grill for less mess. My hubby's favorite dish!

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken with cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
- Place chicken on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a plate and shred using 2 forks.
- Combine tomatillos, serrano peppers, vinegar, water, onion, garlic, and salt in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatillos are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and chill in an ice bath until cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Add cilantro and lime juice. Blend salsa thoroughly using an immersion blender.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, 4 ounces Mexican cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup salsa, onion, and cayenne pepper together in a medium bowl.
- Pour just enough salsa into a 9x13-inch baking pan to thinly cover the bottom. Place a heaping spoonful of filling into each tortilla, roll, and place into the pan. Try to keep them from touching. Top with remaining salsa and Mexican cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH ROASTED TOMATILLO CHILE SALSA
This is a recipe from Tyler Florence that I'm filing here for safekeeping. He suggests serving it with Spicy Black Beans and Yellow Rice, so I'll post those, as well. I've served these dishes for friends on several occasions, with very good results (i.e., we LOVE it!)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the salsa:.
- On a baking tray, roast tomatillos, onion, garlic and jalapenos for 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the roasted vegetables and any juices on the bottom of the tray to a food processor. Add the cumin, salt, cilantro, and lime juice and pulse mixture until well combined but still chunky.
- Enchiladas:.
- Meanwhile heat a 2 count of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and caramelized - this should take 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin then cook for a further minute. Sprinkle on the flour and stir to ensure the flour doesn't burn then gradually add the chicken stock to make a veloute. Continue stirring over a low simmer until the flour cooks and the liquid thickens. Turn off the heat, add half of the roasted tomatillo chile salsa, some additional fresh chopped cilantro and fold in the shredded chicken meat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Change the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F and begin assembling the dish. Take a large baking dish and smear the bottom with some of the reserved tomatillo salsa. Now take the flour tortillas and briefly flash them over the stove-top flame (or put them briefly under the broiler if using an electric stove). Using a shallow bowl, coat each tortilla lightly with the reserved salsa mix. Put a scoop of the shredded chicken-enchilada mix on top of the tortilla followed by a sprinkle of the shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling and roll like a cigar to enclose it. Using a spatula place the tortillas in the baking dish and continue to do the same with all the tortillas. Finally pour over some more of the salsa and top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes until bubbly and cracked on top. Garnish, cilantro and tomato.
- Serve hot with Spicy Black Beans and Yellow Rice, the remaining tomatillo salsa, sour cream and fresh guacamole, if desired.
ROASTED TOMATILLO CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
These enchiladas are amazing! I made this for a themed dinner party and the crowd went wild. They tasted as if we were at a mexican restaurant...without all the grease. It takes a little more time to prepare, but so worth it! NOTE: the first 8 ingredients are for the salsa. NOTE: This is a recipe by Tyler Florence.

Steps:
- For the salsa: Under the broiler and a watchful eye, place whole tomatillos, onion, garlic and jalapenos in a glass baking dish. As they start to turn black and roast, flip them over so all sides are covered. This only takes about 5 minutes. Transfer the roasted vegetables and any juices to either a food processor or blender and add cumin, salt, cilantro and lime juice. Pulse to desired consistency.
- For the Enchiladas: In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and cook for another minute. Sprinkle on flour and then gradually add the chicken broth. Stir over a low simmer until the liquid thickens. Turn off the heat. Add half of the tomatillo salso, the fresh chopped cilantro, and the shredded chicken. Season to taste with black pepper.
- Assembly: Change oven temp to 350. Smear the bottom of a large glass baking dish with salsa. Pour the rest of the salsa on a large plate. Take the tortillas and flash them over a stove top flame, or under the broiler so they get a little crispy. Place the tortilla on the plate of salsa, add chicken filling and cheese and then roll like a cigar. Place in the baking dish and repeat until the dish is full. Pour the rest of the salsa over the tortillas and top with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
