Enchiladas
- 1 cup corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 onion, peeled and quartered
- 4 tomatoes, cored and quartered
- 6 dried mild chiles, like guajillo or California, stemmed and seeded
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin, plus more to taste
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 quart chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160)
- About 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- Forty 5-inch corn tortillas
- 1 cup queso Chihuahua (page 85), or shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and chiles and cook until the tomato juices are released and the chiles are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Season with cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer this mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, adding sufficient chicken stock to make a loose but still creamy mixture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Moisten the chicken with about half of the sauce, or enough to make it pasty.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook the tortillas, one at a time, until softened and pliable, about 10 seconds.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Line a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and put in a large baking dish.
- The rolls should be placed snugly against one another.
- Pour the remaining sauce over, top with the cheese, and bake for about 25 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve hot.
