Hello Just Us Four readers! I’m Shatzi and I blog over at Love and Laundry! I’m so excited to be here! I just love Shannah’s blog. She doesn’t know this, but hers was one of the first blogs I really followed. I’ve gotten to know her a little better because we both contribute at Sugar Bee Crafts!

Before I get started, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a mom of three pretty great kiddos. The greatest, really. They are my whole life and I love every minute of being their mom. In my free time, I love to cook, craft, sew and pretend I’m good at decorating. I’m really not, though…but that’s another story for another day!

Since I love to cook, I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes. Tomatillo Chicken Enchiladas!

Tomatillos are one of those foods that I didn’t know about when I was younger. It wasn’t until I met one of my favorite people, who also happened to be a neighbor at the time, did I even know what a tomatillo even was! She grew them like weeds in her garden and made the most delicious salsa. Tomatillos are in the tomato family. They have a really wonderful citrus-y taste. And they are what make these enchiladas so special!

Ingredients:

• 3 C cooked, chopped chicken
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 16 oz jar of green (tomatillo) salsa
• 3/4 C sour cream
• 12 corn tortillas
• 3 C shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 C fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 450

Combine the salsa, sour cream and crushed garlic. In a separate bowl with the chicken, add 1/2 C of the salsa mixture. Microwave the tortillas to soften. Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 C of the chicken mixture. and place in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Because corn tortillas are so hard to roll, I usually fold them in half and tuck the seam under the next tortilla. Like this:

After you have all of the tortillas in the pan, top all of the enchiladas with the remaining salsa/cream mixture and cheese.

Bake for about 40-45 minutes.

Thank you for letting me visit today, Shannah!
