Pepper Jack Enchilada's with Tomatillo Sauce




Photos coming soon!
Mandi has been craving a good enchilada so I made them for her. I home made the tomatillo sauce from fresh tomatillos. The chicken I used I marinated in seasonings, fresh squeezed lime and orange juice, lime and orange wedges. The flavor was amazing.

Whats in it:

Chicken marinade. Marinates 4 chicken breasts depending on size
1. 2 oranges cut into wedges squeezed and rinds put in, 1 limes same as oranges, 1 tbsp sazon tropical, 2 tsp ground black pepper
Marinate for 3-4 hours
Cook chicken on grill or grill pan until done, shred

Tomatillo Sauce:
2 tbsp canola oil
2 medium sweet onions
5 large jalapeno
1 cup chicken broth
3 1/2 cups fresh tomatillos diced
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp cumin
sea salt to taste

Cooking:
1. Heat oil on medium heat, add onions and cook until tender. Stir in jalapeno, chicken broth, tomatillos, lime juice, oregano, and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, use blender or immersion wand and blend well until smooth.
