Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the tomatillos, onion, serrano, yellow chile and 3/4 cup water in a medium, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and boil until the tomatillos turn olive-green color, about 10 minutes. Transfer the tomatillos, onion and chiles to a blender. Add the garlic and cilantro and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas until golden but still pliable, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Put the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the shredded chicken evenly among the tortillas and roll up each like a cigar. Spread 1/3 cup sauce in a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the enchiladas, seam-side down, in one layer snugly inside the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
- Drizzle with the Mexican crema and sprinkle the cheese all over. Bake until the cheese melts and starts to brown in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cook chicken in a large pot over medium heat with water. Cook for about 25 minutes.
- Reserve some of the water the chicken was cooked in, about 2 cups of broth.
- Shred chicken with two forks.
- If using the onion (highly recommend) add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a skillet over medium high heat and saute for 2 minutes. Stir onions and now add the minced garlic to pan. Cook garlic for about 30 seconds over medium heat.
- Add shredded chicken and broth of chicken.
- Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper over chicken and stir mixture together. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken broth reduces a bit. You want to make sure chicken stays moist. Set aside.
- Remove stems off of peppers. To remove seeds, flip peppers over to allow seeds to fall out.
- Place in a saucepan with water to cover and heat on medium heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until peppers are soft.
- Place peppers in a chopper or blender with the other 3 garlic cloves, oregano and 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth ( sauce will still have texture because of pepper skin).
- Strain sauce into a bowl using a strainer so that the skin (and whatever seeds may still remain) is left behind. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Using a pair of tongs, coat tortillas one at a time lightly with sauce or use a cooking brush and coat tortillas on each side lightly.
- In a non-stick skillet fry tortillas on each side for a few seconds. Add a little cooking spray if pan starts to get too sticky. Do not overcook or tortillas will fall apart.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Add about a 1/3 cup of chicken down the middle of each tortilla, followed by monterey cheese.
- Roll tortillas. Assemble and place each tortilla seam side down in a greased baking dish or casserole.
- Add additional sauce on top of tortillas. Cover with additional monterey cheese
- Cover casserole with aluminum and place in oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove foil and cook for another few minutes if you like to brown the cheese on top. This step is entirely up to you.
- Once done, let the casserole rest for a few minutes and then add crumbled cheese, red onion (if using) and sprinkle chopped cilantro.
- Serve 1 to 2 enchiladas per person. Enjoy!
