Chef Tips

- Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 15 seconds before filling to make them flexible and prevent them from breaking when rolling. - Spread a thin layer of green sauce on the bottom of the baking dish before positioning the enchiladas so they don't stick to the dish. - Assemble the tortillas with the seam facing down on the baking sheet so they do not open while the cheese melts.

Variations

- Add 1/2 cup of cream cheese or sour cream mixed into the chicken filling for extra creaminess. - Add drained corn kernels or cooked black beans to the shredded chicken to enrich the filling. - Sprinkle thin slices of red onion and fresh radish rounds over the gratin cheese right after taking it out of the oven.

Substitutions

- Corn tortillas can be replaced by flour tortillas (wrap type) if you prefer a more elastic dough. - Mozzarella cheese can be replaced with semi-cured cheese or grated Prato cheese in the same amount. - The cooked chicken breast can be replaced by boneless, shredded chicken thigh.

How to Store

Store the finished enchiladas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with aluminum foil and place in the oven at 180°C for 15 minutes until the cheese is completely reheated.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the assembled enchiladas in the baking dish before baking, or already baked, for up to 2 months, well wrapped in aluminum foil. To consume, place directly in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 35 to 40 minutes.

What to Serve With

Serve enchiladas hot accompanied by Mexican tomato rice, refried beans, and fresh avocado slices. A spoonful of dry curd or sour cream perfectly balances the green sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Como evitar que as tortillas de milho rachem ao enrolar?

Aqueça as tortillas rapidamente em uma frigideira morna ou envoltas em pano úmido no micro-ondas por 20 segundos para ganhar flexibilidade.

What is the green sauce indicated in the ingredients?

This is the classic Mexican green sauce made from cooked green tomatillos, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and crushed garlic.

Posso montar as enchiladas horas antes de assar?

Pode adiantar a montagem, mas despeje o molho verde e o queijo apenas momentos antes de levar ao forno para as tortillas não absorverem líquido em excesso.

Should the chicken breast be cooked in seasoned water?

Yes, cook the chicken breast with salt, bay leaf, and garlic before shredding so that the filling enters the recipe with a pleasant flavor.
