Green Chile Enchiladas
Originally found at Simply Recipes
Green Chile Sauce*
1 can diced green chiles
6 corn tortillas
Canola or grapeseed oil
1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated
Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Set a tortilla in the pan. Allow to bubble up slightly, then turn and repeat. Take out the tortillas and dry on paper towels.
Mix together the cheese and chiles, and place a small amount in a tortilla. Roll up and place in a baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used. Pour green chile sauce over the enchiladas and top with extra cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
My Notes:
*The link above has a recipe for green chile sauce with tomatillos and jalepenos, and I made it, but it didn't smell quite right to me (it's currently sitting in my fridge as I try to figure out what to do with it). So I used my typical Verde enchilada sauce.
They weren't bad, but they weren't spectacular either. I think I can probably jazz them up with some effort, but I'll have to work on it a little more. I really want to try them with some Hatch whole green chiles, but sadly, they don't sell them here where I live (at least, not at the grocery store I frequent). Maybe I can steal some away next time I make my way out west. Still, they're a decent replacement for my mom's chicken enchiladas.
