I'm surprised to see Rambo admitting to using an oven to cook this dish. I would have expected these enchiladas to be seared by his flame thrower or by the fiery blast of his enemies being blown up.

I was lucky enough to try these and they were delicious...if only I had some right now, I would be so happy!

We don't have tomatillos. What other options do I have in making these enchiladas? Would like to know more about it. Thanks.

If you can't find tomatillos you can substitute with green tomatoes. Add a dash of lemon juice to compensate for the lack of tartness.
You could even use regular plum tomatoes and a dash of lemon juice.
Even cape gooseberries would work, as they are related to tomatillos nac.rouxbe.com/drilldowns/220.
Not sure that the color would be that pretty though.

Many enchiladas are made using red salsa, so you could even try Rouxbe's salsa borracha nac.rouxbe.com/recipes/232/preview

You can use Salsa Roja to make enchiladas Rojas, their flavor is very different from the Tomatillos but it is still amazing. For this kind of enchiladas Rojas the best filling for the tortillas would be fresh cheese with diced onions. The mixing of the Red salsa with the cheese taste way better (in my experience) than chicken. Serve them with a little bit of Fresh creme and refried beans on the side (instead of rice) and you will have an amazingly tasting combination.

Hi: I would love to try this recipe and can only find the large can of tomatillos. Can they be substituted? I hope so. Thanks.

It will be good, but it won't be quite the same, I know because I have tried the canned myself. However, I did not use the canned to make enchiladas, so maybe the canned will be okay for this.

Where do you live? Maybe you could try phoning your local Mexican restaurant to see where they buy fresh tomatillos. Or they might be able to recommend (or even sell) you some fresh salsa verde.

Let me know how it turns out. Thanks dawn

I made these this weekend, but instead of chicken, I used pan sauteed tofu (cubed and well drained) and onions as the filling. They were awesome.

I promise i will try it, but to tell you the truth my vegetarian option means chicken.

And in this case no cream, no melted cheese and no chicken, I can only say that Veggieladas Verdes should be a recipe for another planet maybe named Vegedexico.

Thanks for experimenting, that will always be exciting (in a culinary way.)

No no, definitely still use the cream and cheese. Sorry for the confusion!
