Corn and Zucchini Enchiladas with Chile Sauce
- 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
- 1 large unpeeled garlic clove, plus 1 peeled and minced
- 2 dried de arbol chiles, stemmed
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 cup thawed frozen corn kernels
- Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
- 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 3 1/2 ounces)
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Heat a grill pan or a large cast-iron skillet.
- Grill the tomatillos and unpeeled garlic clove over moderately high heat, turning often, until the tomatillos and garlic are soft and blackened in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the chiles to the grill and toast just until lightly charred, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
- Coarsely chop the chiles.
- Remove the papery skin from the garlic clove.
- Transfer the garlic to a blender, add the grilled tomatillos and chiles, the water and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and blend to a coarse sauce.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Add the onion, minced garlic, oregano and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook over moderately high heat until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes longer.
- Stir in the corn and cook just until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Pour half of the tomatillo sauce into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil over moderately high heat.
- Using tongs and working with 1 tortilla at a time, dip both sides of each one briefly in the hot oil just until the tortilla softens; let any excess oil drip back into the pan.
- Lay the tortillas on a work surface and spoon about 21/2 tablespoons of the zucchini filling across the center of each; sprinkle each one with 1 tablespoon of the cheese.
- Roll up the tortillas and transfer them to the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining tomatillo sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve immediately.
