Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce (Enchiladas Verdes)
These traditional green-sauced enchiladas from Mexico City are a favorite of chef Ricardo Munoz Zurita. The recipe comes from nearby Xochimilco where, long before the Spanish conquest, the Aztecs were raising vegetables, chilies and herbs on floating gardens encircling Tenochtitlan, their island capital.

A Classic in our Home
July 24, 2012
I don't know when this recipe was first put on the site. I think I found it somewhere around 2000/2001. It takes time, but it is in no way complicated. Especially now that in 2012 it is EASY to find tomatillos and seranos. Believe me, it was tough back before Food Network HA! If you can't find Queso Blanco, a high quality Monterey Jack is a good substitute. Boneless-skinless breasts work if as long as you supplement with some quality canned, low sodium chicken stock with the water. AND/OR toss in some thighs as well. GREAT leftovers.
Pros: Yield, Good Value, Easy, Kid-Friendly, Appearance, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again
Cons: Lengthy

BEST ENCHILADAS
July 13, 2011
I have made these enchiladas 10+ times and they never disappoint. No reason to ever make any other enchiladas. I LOVE spicy food... but let me tell you... you do NOT need all 9 serrano chilies. I usually use about 4 (including seeds) and it is the perfect amount of spicy. Kids will still like it, but it still has some kick.
Also, I always add grilled onions, lime juice, cilantro, and queso fresco (sometimes mozzarella) to the inside of the enchiladas.
These are the best!
Pros: Yield, Kid-Friendly, Appearance, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again

Excellent!
January 16, 2011
This dish has fabulous flavor. It is a bit time consuming especially if you are not used to working with tomatillos and peppers. But it is worth the effort. Plan to make it on a weekend when you have a bit more time. Be careful you don't make it too spicy. I would recommend that you remove all seeds and veins from the peppers.

always enjoyed
August 15, 2010
I have made this recipe many times, everyone loves it, it's easy to prepare, even for large groups, it's easy to serve and it looks wonderful on a buffet table. The only problem that I ever have is there is never enough. This recipe appeals to everyone, even those who don't usually eat 'Mexican' food or eschew chicken.

Easy delicious enchiladas!
April 30, 2010
This is a fantastic enchilada recipe! It's very easy to prepare and a definite crowd pleaser. Have made this dish may times. Can be a little spicy with the nine serranos so depending on my guests I adjust the amount I include.
