Steps

  1. 1

    First, cook the chicken. I cook it with a few sprigs of mint, dried oregano, 2 garlic cloves, and a piece of onion for about 1 hour. Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it drain. Save the broth.

  2. 2

    Cook the tomatillos. If you want to add serrano pepper, cook it with the tomatillos. I skip it because I serve this to my child. As soon as the tomatillos change color, turn off the heat so they don’t burst and the sauce doesn’t turn bitter.

  3. 3

    In a blender, add the tomatillos (without water), cilantro, 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, salt, 1/2 cup of the chicken broth (about 120 ml), and the avocados. Blend until very smooth.

    Heat a little oil in a pan and add the blended sauce. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. The sauce is ready.

  9. 9

    Pour the hot sauce over the enchiladas. You can add sour cream or cheese on top; I just add sour cream. They turn out delicious. Enjoy!
