Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce
Charred tomatillos, garlic, and serranos are the stars of the enchilada sauce in this dish. The acidity from these Mexican green tomatoes makes for a garden fresh flavor balanced by some heat from serrano peppers. The enchiladas are made by rolling corn tortillas around a flavorful filling of braised chicken thighs and pepperjack cheese, then dousing them in that tasty tomatillo sauce. Sides of red rice and charro beans make the meal complete alongside crema fresh to cool down any heat from the enchiladas.
