Don't put cheese in the sauce.
Great Job!!! – – THANKS 🙂
I'm glad I live in the desert southwest where real enchiladas exist!
Christie is so cute I love her and this looks amazing!
Do not microwave tortillas 🤮. It takes seconds to dry roast them on the stove to and the texture will be so much better.
Also I dont know who needs to hear this but soak your cilantro in cold water to let all the sand fall to the bottom. And YES you can use the stems they hold so much flavor.
Corn tortillas you dry fry. & makes a much better texture then microwave ones. Also wouldn't use sharp cheddar too overpowering. Otherwise good recipe. The sauce looks really thick.
As someone from the SW I don't find this recipe for green chicken enchiladas. Poblano peppers are too mild. Might as well use green bell peppers at that point.
Very nice. Talk about a crowd pleaser. New Mexico here. One question northern and southern New Mexicans ask is: "Red or green?" Well of course both are wonderful, so might I offer a suggestion? Christmas tree. BOTH! Maybe one side red and one side green or maybe alternate each enchilada or what ever makes your heart happy! Green chile and chicken are a great combo as are carne asada or ground beef and red chile, but that is not chiseled in stone. Experiment! I assure you, you'll love it.
I would make this recipe without sour cream and avocado
Tortillas can be toasted in toaster
In 45 years of living, I have never seen canned tomatillos. I am Hispanic.
I made this with fresh Tomatillos. Came out very bitter, not tasty at all. Followed the recipe exactly besides fresh Tomatillos. Anyone?
Looks really good 👍🏼
Nice how about not using the microwave??? Not everyone can use it due to health conditions. Just asking for a friend
Sour creeeeeaaaaaammmmmm…. The sauce is gorgeous. But no salt? I know the chicken is salted. But I'd add salt to the sauce for sure.
Looks good, but do not mistake this recipe for the New Mexican version.
Can you freeze these? If so, before or after you cook them? Thanks. Great recipe and presentation.
One word of advice from personal experience. When cutting up jalapeños without gloves, especially if they're fairly spicy, please be certain to wash your hands well afterwards and before continuing. Even a small amount of capsaicin from the pepper that remains on your fingers will cause intense discomfort if you rub your eyes without thinking.
they use this…they use that…they use what they think taste good to them..this is not mexican food…call it what you want…it's not.
At what point would you add back the jalapeño seeds, since she said to add them back in later?
I’m having a hard time finding fresh poblano peppers in my neighborhood. I looked on the inter-webs and saw that one could substitute green peppers. Before I do, any thoughts from Cooks country or others who have tried this recipe?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
OMG, can't wait to try this one! Thank you for sharing!
This looks and sounds wonderfully delicious 😋.
The ATK crew are such great teachers!
Was this a repost? Why do I remember watching this already?
At 5:00 there's a "so smooth" that I am pretty sure is not Christie's voice. Sounds very robotic. Could just be me though.
Where is the “green chili “? Poblano’s? Real green chili would give “green chili” enchiladas . MUCH better flavor. Come on “American Test Kitchen” do better.
Did you remove the onion roots before blending?
Yum I’m a drooling. Can you come open a Mexican restaurant in NZ I have yet to find a authentic Mexican restaurant.
They just don’t seem to know what that is here , their idea is nachos, but the meat sauce is the same as spaghetti bolognaise meat sauce .
Ruined it with sour cream
This looks amazing and the presenter,Christie is amazing 🤩 to hear 👂 and she’s definitely a good cook!!
Enchiladas are also good with diced onions and sliced black olives sprinkled on top before baking.
Good luck on your union drive. We support you.
Remember, folks. Workers don't start unions because they hate their jobs. They start them because they want to make their jobs better.
Why do white people put cumin in ALL Mexican dishes???? We don't uses that much cumin! I never use cumin in an Enchiladas sauce or Salsa Verde. Aside from the addition of cumin, everything else looked delicious!
ONE OF THE BEST COMBOS…CHICKEN AND GREEN CHILI'S
I simply cannot skip frying the tortillas. Every time I have not fried them a bit the enchiladas turn out mushy. I like them to retain a little chew.
Thank You for sharing this beautiful and tasty looking recipe!
🙏❤️🍽😁😁
There should be a better way of eating dirt other than blending the uncleaned onion roots. Ffs CUT OFF THE ROOT OF YOUR ONION.
i generally love your recipes, but this is a lowest common denominator dish-white washed mexican food. I live in Ca and do have access to real mexican food and can cook it so this recipe is a fail for me. For one thing using only one jalapeno-THAT YOU SEEDED is an insult to your viewers palettes. You could have made a slightly spicier version and said people could use less if they prefered (lead the people!) Also the chile verde is too stiff_it would usually be loosened up with stock or water. You have almost no fat in this recipe–and what is fat? Flavor! Even though you microwaved the tortilla instead of grilling them, I would still have brushed some neutral oil to help the texture and richness. Dry tortillas…tisk tisk. The cheddar cheese is not traditional but is not a crime. i know of mexican american who use cheddar cheese
I am sure some people will love this. I would have prefered you called it "Very Americanized Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas.' That would be more accurate.
🌼
I know a Williams Sonome dish towel when I see one!! The best!!
These look great but I’m a little nervous about the sharp cheddar. Any reviews on that? Might a mixed Mexican cheeses and cheddar blend be flavorful enough?
Anyone know what brand of ovens are used in this episode? TIa
I'd try it! Yum
Yum!!
Just go to your local Mexican market, tomatillos can be purchased year round. Buy your tortillas at here too, they'll probably be better than white grocery store brands.
Also, don't microwave those tortillas. Heat them up on the stove to give it some browning flavor. Toast with some butter for bonus points.
This dish is enchiladas inspired, but they're not enchiladas
The salsa verde never has poblano, the filling never has salsa in it, the salsa is never that thick, the tortillas are always fried so the enchiladas are not soggy… just no
would have added sour cream to sauce making it less green and less dry looking
Sorry, no cheddar. Use only Mexican melting cheese. Cheddar is just the wrong flavor on these.
