TOMATILLO ENCHILADA SAUCE
This sauce is an excellent companion in chicken or beef enchiladas. I make a large batch from the huge tomatillo harvest I get, and then freeze it into quart-sized freezer bags to use during the year. There are never any leftovers when enchiladas are made with this sauce!

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH ROASTED TOMATILLO CHILE SALSA
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.
- For the 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 flameproof 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.
- In a large pot, soak beans overnight covered in water by 2 inches. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, jalapeno pepper, garlic, and bay leaf and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and cover with water by about 1-inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Taste the beans and season with salt and pepper.
- Put all the ingredients into a heavy-bottomed pot, stir well, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat until the rice has absorbed the water, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard the garlic and bay leaf, fluff with a fork, and serve.

- In a large saucepan, combine the water, onion, salt, and cayenne. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft.
- Add the bell pepper, tomatillos, and chilies. Cover and simmer until the tomatillos are soft and have released their juices, about 10 to 15 minutes. Using an (immersion) blender or food processor, puree the mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add a little sugar if the sauce is too acidic.
- Filling: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil and saute the red onion, salt and cayenne for 8 minutes, or until the onion is wilted. Add the garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and cumin. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, corn, and beans. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the corn is crisp tender. Stir in cilantro. Remove from heat.

Spread 3 tablespoons of the filling over the sour cream and then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons grated cheese. Roll the tortilla up and place seem side down in the baking pan. Repeat with all remaining tortillas. Ladle the sauce on top, sprinkle with cheese.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH CREAMY TOMATILLO SAUCE
This is from Fine Cooking. A very flavorful traditional Mexican dish. I served it with guacamole, Recipe #350647 and pico de gallo. I had leftover chicken from my freezer that I used and for the cheese, I used mozzarella and queso panela and I added a little mozzarella inside each enchilada. This is a great destination for leftover chicken or turkey. If you have some on hand, use it instead of the chicken thighs. If you can find Mexican cheese, try queso panela or queso añejo instead of the mozzarella and provolone.

Steps:
- Position a rack as close to the broiler as possible and heat the broiler. Arrange the tomatillos, fresh chiles (if using), onion slices, and garlic in a small, shallow baking pan. Broil, turning to ensure even cooking, until the tomatillos are soft and slightly blackened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the broiled ingredients to a blender and add the cilantro (if you're using a canned chipotle, add it now, too). Blend until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillo mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the broth and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Taste the sauce. It should be a little tart, but it shouldn't make your mouth pucker. If it's too tart, add more broth and simmer until the sauce thickens again. Remove from the heat and whisk in the crème fraîche or heavy cream and the salt. Let cool slightly before making the enchiladas.
- Make Ahead Tips.
- The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the chicken thighs and a bit of salt; simmer until cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes. Cool the meat; shred (discarding any fat or gristle), season with salt, and set aside.
- Fill a large skillet with enough oil to submerge a tortilla (between 1/4 and 1/2 inch). Warm the oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles immediately. Fry each tortilla briefly in the oil, about 10 seconds per side. Use a spatula rather than tongs to flip the tortillas, as they'll tear easily. The tortilla should stay soft; if it starts to harden, it has been in the oil too long. Drain on paper towels.
- Heat the oven to 400°F With a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of sauce on both sides of each tortilla. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of shredded chicken just off center of each tortilla and roll into loose cylinders. Set the enchiladas side by side in a 9x13 inch baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over them, top with the cheeses, and bake until bublling and browned in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.

HOMEMADE GREEN ENCHILADA SAUCE WITH TOMATILLOS
This is my go-to enchilada sauce recipe. It is definitely better than the canned stuff and you can use it for anything! I use it for enchiladas, Mexican casseroles, and as a smother for burritos. Blend the sauce with equal parts plain Greek yogurt for a delicious green chile 'sour cream' for your next taco bar! I always save the spicy liquid that remains in the pot for a broth for soups.
