Ingredients
- 12-14 corn tortillas (cut into half)
- oil (for heating and softening tortillas)
- 2 cups roasted salsa verde (I buy the refrigerated kind in the grocery store)
- 4 cups shredded chicken (I prefer to use rotisserie chicken)
- 3-4 cups Monterey or pepper jack cheese (or Mexican Cheese Blend)
Optional Toppings:
- Avocados, Sour Cream or Mexican Crema, Jalapenos, Fresh Cilantro, Cilantro, Queso Fresco
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Let it heat up and then using tongs, carefully add each tortilla for about 8-10 seconds. Remove from skillet and let it drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat for each tortilla. Cut each tortilla in half.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. IIn a 9 x 13 baking dish or cast-iron skillet, spread some salsa verde on the bottom of the pan. Top with corn tortillas, trying not to overlap them. Top with shredded chicken, salsa verde, and a generous amount of cheese. Keep repeating until all of the tortillas are used.
- Top with a generous amount of cheese. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray and cover the enchiladas (place the side with the non-sticking cooking spray touching the cheese as this helps to ensure the cheese doesn't stick to the foil). Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh avocado, sour cream, queso fresco, jalapenos, cilantro, and anything else.

Notes
- I like to crumble queso fresco cheese on the top after removing from the oven. You can find queso fresco cheese with the other refrigerated Mexican products at your local grocery store.
- You can use fresh jalapeños (which are much spicier) or can use mild pickled jalapeños.
- Mexican Crema has a more heavy cream consistency rather than a thicker consistency like sour cream. It also has a slight sweetness to it.
