Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the chicken
Heat the oven to 400°F.
In a medium sauce pot, add the chicken and enough lightly salted water to cover by 2 inches, making sure the pieces are separated, and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until opaque and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then using a fork, shred the chicken. While the chicken is cooking and cooling, prepare the remaining ingredients.
2
Prep the remaining ingredients; make the filling
- Rinse the pinto beans.
- Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems, keeping them separate. Coarsely chop the leaves and stems; set aside the leaves for garnish.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the tomatillo simmer sauce base and yogurt; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cut away the core from the tomato; finely chop the tomato. Set aside for garnish.
In a large bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, beans, cilantro stems, and green chiles; season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Warm the tortillas
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the tortillas, turning once, until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.
4
Assemble and bake the enchiladas
Spread one-third of the tomatillo-yogurt sauce over the bottom of a medium [large] baking dish. On a work surface, lay the tortillas side by side. Spoon about ⅔ cup chicken enchilada filling across the center of each tortilla. Carefully roll up the tortillas and place them, seam side down, in the baking dish. Evenly spread the remaining tomatillo-yogurt sauce on top of the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the cheddar. Bake until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheddar is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve
Transfer the enchiladas to individual plates, garnish with the tomato and cilantro leaves, and serve.
