Joses Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

I lived with a Mexican family in Puebla many, many years ago and my host’s Mama made these. Traditionally enchiladas are soft but mama used to fry them for just a moment or two in very hot oil to “crisp” the outside a touch. Read more A bit more work but delicious. Do not overdo this bit, it’s just a touch. Be a cat burglar here. I like Serrano chilies but if you want something milder try Anaheim or like that. See less
