Green Chicken Enchiladas in My Ranch Style

These green chicken enchiladas are a treasure from my ranch in Jalisco, where tradition and flavor blend in every bite. I learned to make them from my mother, who always said the secret lies in well-seasoned green sauce and juicy chicken. This version is special because it combines the smoky touch of the comal with the freshness of cilantro, creating a dish that comforts the soul and fills any family table with joy.

    Pour the green sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with fresh cheese.

Chef tips

  • You can substitute serrano chili for jalapeño if you prefer less heat.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little chicken broth.
  • The enchiladas can be frozen before baking to enjoy later.
