Green Enchiladas

Green Enchiladas

This is our new favorite enchilada recipe. These are jer's favorite enchiladas ever.

2 cups shredded chicken
2 green onions, sliced
3 T. cream cheese at room temperature
1 1/2 C. grated montery jack cheese
1 bottle of green salsa verde (16 oz) - I like the Herdez brand
2 T chopped green chilis
1/2 C. fresh cilantro
2/3 C heavy whipping cream
1/4 C. vegitable oil
Corn tortillas

In a bowl:
combine cooked, shredded chicken (I stick frozen chicken breasts or tenderloins in the crock pot with a little salsa verde in the afternoon and it works perfect for these), green onions, cream cheese, and 1 cup cheese. set aside.

In blender combine salsa verde, cream, chilis, cilantro.. blend until smooth.

In small frying pan heat small bits of oil and cook corn tortillas one at a time for about 10 seconds each - set on paper towel

Place chicken mixture inside tortillas seam side down in baking pan. Pour salsa verde sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes or so and bubbling..

I like to serve it with Mexican rice, and fresh avocado and tomato slices.

Enjoy!
