I need an easy and authentic recipe for chicken enchiladas?!
Thank youWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Please dont use sauce from a can or use flour tortillas or anything like that becuase it wouldn't be authentic, to make real enchiladas you need fresh ingredients and its not hard!. I always make mine green but you can do red too!.
Green enchiladas:
tomatillo verde (green if you dont speak spanish) for about 3-4 people i'd say about 1lb-1 1/2 lb of tomatillos!. If you are in an area whre you can find the itty bitty tomatillos use those instead but if not the big ones are fine!. So peel them wash them and put them in a pan, cover them with water and bring to a boil!.
Meanwhile you'll need to cook the chicken!. I always use chicken breasts or if i'm in a hurry ill buy a roasted chicken and just use that!. If you are cooking it yourself again for 3-4 peole i'd use about one breast per person, add a small piece of onion, a clove or two of garlic and maybe half a teaspoon of chicken bouillon!. When the chicken is done shred it (using a fork or your fingers doesn't matter)
When the tomatillos are done blend them with about 1/4 of an onion, 1 serrano pepper( or 2 or 3 or 5 u decide the spice) no seeds, a small bunch of cilantro and add about 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon and salt to taste!. If its too thick and some of the boiled water!.
Now pour the sauce into a pan and have it simmering for a few mins and turn it off!. Warm up your corn tortillas to where they are soft (you dont want them to get a little toasted) some people fry them i dont but its an option!. after you warm them place them oneat a time into the sauce and make sure they are covered all the way!. Place them on a plate, put the chicken in them roll them and put the on the serving plate!. when you are done top them off with more salsa so they arent dry, queso fresco or ranchero, sour cream, finely chopped onions ( or my favorite I slice onions and let them sit with some lemon juice for a while!!) and some extra shredded chicken!. Some people like to put theirs in the oven but honestly they only dry out and get soggy!.
So there you have your authentic mexican chicken enchiladas straght from a mexican herself!! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Authentic chicken enchiladas are never easy!. They always have lots of ingredients and several different complex components (the chicken, the sauce, etc)!.
You can get pretty good results taking some short cuts, though!. FoodNetwork's Tyler Florence's recipe is good!. It takes some shortcuts using canned enchilada sauce and a couple types of canned peppers!. But even this recipe is "intermediate", not easy!.
