INGREDIENTS
For the Poblano Cream Sauce:
4 large poblano peppers, roasted and peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Enchiladas:
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great!)
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
8-10 flour or corn tortillas
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
PREPARATION STEPS
Roast the Poblanos:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skins are charred. Let them cool, then peel off the skins and remove the seeds.
Make the Poblano Cream Sauce:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened.
Blend the roasted poblanos, chicken broth, heavy cream, and sour cream in a blender until smooth.
Add the blended mixture to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble the Enchiladas:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spread a thin layer of poblano cream sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining poblano cream sauce over the enchiladas, then top with the rest of the shredded cheese.
Bake the Enchiladas:
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a burst of freshness. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, smoky flavors!
