Directions: |
Directions:1. Cover a large griddle with aluminum foil, and preheat to medium.
2. Cook the garlic, serrano peppers and tomatillos on the hot griddle until toasted and blackened, turning occasionaly. About 5 minutes for garlic, 10 minutes for peppers, and 15 minutes for tomatillos. transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
3. Heat oil in small deep frying pan to 350º, using kitchen tongs, fry tortillas one at a time; no more than 5 seconds on each side. Remove and absorb oil on paper towels, keep warm. Remember, the hotter the oil the less oil the tortilla will absorb.
4. Place the garlic, serrano peppers, tomatillos and bouillon into the blender, blend until smooth.(the sauce shouldn't be too thick.
5. Soak 3 tortillas at a time in the sauce for a few seconds. Fill each with some of the shredded chicken, add a little sauce; roll and place seam face down on a cookie sheet. Repeat the process again 2 more times. When all tortillas have been filled and rolled, add more sauce over top. Layer lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and a little bit of cilantro. If you still have sauce left, drizzle over top of enchiladas. |
