HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

02

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.

03

Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, diced poblano peppers, cream of chicken soup, milk, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

04

Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a microwave or on a dry skillet to make them pliable. This prevents them from breaking when rolled.

05

Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and poblano mixture down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

06

Pour any remaining chicken and poblano mixture over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.

07

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can roast the poblano peppers directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred, then place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam. This makes them easier to peel.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas. Cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend can be used in place of Monterey Jack. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
