Cheese Enchiladas in Fresh Tomatillo Salsa
Tomatillo Salsa
Although tomatillos look like green tomatoes once they have their husks removed, they have a unique, tangy flavor that is mild and refreshing. I bought these fresh at our local Farmers’ Market for 80 cents!
Bring water to boil in a large saucepan.
Add:
1 teaspoon Salt
1 pound of Fresh Tomatillos with husks removed
Boil for about 8 minutes until Tomatillos turn dull in color.
Drain Tomatillos, then plunge into a bowl of Ice Water.
In the meantime, set up your Food Processor, and add:1/2 White Onion, roughly chopped
1 small can Roasted, diced Green Chiles (you can use any chiles you like – I must admit, I’m a wimp!)
1 small can Roasted, diced Green Chiles (you can use any chiles you like – I must admit, I’m a wimp!)
Juice of 1 Lime
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, stems removed
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Add cooled Tomatillos, and blend on high until well blended.
Cheese Enchiladas
Although this recipe makes six, it can easily be adapted to make any number you like.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Spoon enough Tomatillo Salsa in the bottom of a medium-size baking dish to cover it.
Wrap 6 Corn Tortillas in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 10 seconds.
Place one tortilla on a clean, flat surface, then place some of each in the center:
2 Cups Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
Roll up tortilla, and place seam side down in the pan.
Repeat for all six tortillas, then cover with remaining Tomatillo Salsa.
Top with Cheese, and bake for 30 Minutes
Avocado Pico de Gallo
In a medium bowl, stir together:About 15 Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
1/2 White Onion, finely diced
1 ripe Haas Avocado, peeled and diced
About 6 sprigs fresh Cilantro, minced
Juice of 1/2 a Lemon (or Lime)
1/2 tsp Salt
Enjoy!
