Chicken Enchiladas with Green Sauce and Long-Grain Rice

Recipe courtesy Danny Boome Ltd 2007


In a small skillet add 1 cup oil. When oil is warm submerge a tortilla for 10 to 15 seconds or until soft.
This will soften them and make rolling a lot easier. Drain on paper towels and repeat this process until all
tortillas have been softened. Pour 1 cup of Green Sauce on bottom of the baking dish to cover. Divide the
chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, roll them up. Place seam side down on top of the sauce in the
baking dish. Pour the remaining green sauce over them and spread the cheese mix evenly over the top. Bake for
about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve with long- grain
rice.

Ingredients

For the Green Sauce:

Directions

Pulse all ingredients in
a food processor until a nice salsa consistency is reached.

For the Rice: Pour 3 cups of hot water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Rinse the rice well in a bowl
under cold water and drain. This will remove surface starch and will be less sticky. Place the rinsed and
drained rice into the saucepan, cover and cook until al dente, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add fresh cilantro and
lime juice and serve.
