Instructions

1- Prepare the Salsa Verde:

• In a pot, bring the jalapeños, garlic cloves, ¼ onion, and tomatillos to a boil. Cook until the tomatillos are soft. Drain and let cool slightly.

2- Blend the Salsa:

3- Prepare the Tortillas:

• Heat oil in a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Fry each corn tortilla briefly on both sides until soft. Place them on a plate, ready to fill.

4- Make the Filling:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cottage cheese, and 1 cup of shredded Oaxaca cheese. Mix well.

5- Assemble the Enchiladas:

• Fill each fried tortilla with the chicken and cheese mixture. Roll them up tightly and position them seam-side down in a white rectangular ceramic oven-safe dish.

6- Add Toppings:

• Pour the salsa verde over the filled tortillas, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle generously with additional cottage cheese and shredded Oaxaca cheese.

7- Broil:

• Place the dish in a standard built-in kitchen oven under the broiler. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
