For a richer flavor, use roasted chicken instead of boiled. If you don't have Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack or a mild cheddar can be substituted. Adjust the amount of serrano chiles to your preferred level of spice. The sauce can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Vegetables: Line a griddle or large frying pan with aluminum foil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos, onion, chiles, and garlic. Grill until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Allow vegetables to cool slightly. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)
02
StepBlend the Sauce: Transfer grilled vegetables to a blender with water, cream and 1/2 cup Chihuahua cheese; blend until smooth. Season with chicken bouillon granules; add additional water to thin sauce, if necessary. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
03
StepPreheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Estimated time: 10 minutes)
04
StepSoften the Tortillas: Heat a small drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds, one by one, until soft but not crispy. Add more oil as needed. Place cooked tortillas on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the Enchiladas: Pour 1/3 the sauce into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Fill tortillas with equal amounts of shredded chicken, roll up, and arrange in a single layer over the sauce. Pour remaining sauce on top and cover with remaining 1 cup Chihuahua cheese. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)
06
StepBake: Bake in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (Estimated time: 25 minutes)

Jun 26, 2025I found the sauce a little too spicy for my kids, so I reduced the number of chiles, and it was perfect.

Jun 6, 2025I've made this several times, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a little sour cream to the sauce for extra tang.
