Serves 4
Hands-On Time:
35m
Total Time:
40m
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 small zucchini, diced
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (from 1 ear, or frozen and thawed)
- 1 2- to 2 1/2 pound rotisserie chicken, meat shredded
- 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack (6 ounces)
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 12 6-inch corn tortillas
- 1 pound tomatillos, papery husks removed
- 1 jalapeno, seeded
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, onion, and corn and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the chicken, Monterey Jack, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix to combine.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. One at a time, cook the tortillas in the oil until softened, 10 to 15 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Divide the chicken mixture up in the tortillas and place them in a large baking dish, seam-side down. Bake until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and ½ teaspoon salt until finely chopped.
Serve the enchiladas with the salsa and sour cream, if using.
