Comment préparer

1
Toast the guajillo chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 to 45 seconds per side, turning when fragrant and slightly darkened. Do not let them blacken, or the sauce will taste bitter.
2
Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover with hot water, and soak for 15 minutes until pliable. Drain, then blend them with the chopped tomato, chopped half of the onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and chicken stock until completely smooth.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce through a fine-mesh strainer, bring it to a gentle simmer, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brick-red, slightly thickened, and no longer raw-smelling. Taste and adjust the salt.

4
Warm the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each tortilla into the warm red sauce, then fry it for about 10 seconds per side until pliable; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Add a little more oil if the pan becomes dry.
5
Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken across the lower third of each tortilla. Roll each one tightly and arrange seam-side down in a warm serving dish or a lightly oiled baking dish, keeping the rolls close together.
6
Spoon the remaining hot sauce over the enchiladas, covering the tortillas from end to end. Top with the sliced onion, crema, crumbled queso fresco, and cilantro. Rest for 3 minutes so the sauce settles into the rolls.

7
Serve immediately while the tortillas are tender and the sauce is hot. If using leftover chicken, verify that the filled enchiladas reach 74°C when reheated before serving.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Toasting and simmering the dried chiles develops their earthy aroma while a brief blend with tomato, garlic, and cumin creates a rounded sauce. Warming the tortillas in oil keeps them supple and prevents the filling from tearing through.

Conservation et réchauffage
