Chicken Enchiladas Verdes
1 Aug 2012
For those of you who know me, or have read previous posts, you might already know that I don’t really love Mexican food. It’s not that I won’t eat it–but I could go through life quite happily never eating it. There is just one small problem with this. I am married to a guy who LOVES Mexican food. He has grown up eating really good, authentic Mexican food here in his home town of Mattawa, so it happens to be his favorite! We are pretty much opposite in all our tastes, but that’s a good thing, because we always bring each other around! He wouldn’t like sushi or Indian food if it wasn’t for me, so i’m making an effort to like Mexican food for him.
So, this week I asked him what one of his favorite Mexican dishes was, so I could make it for him, and he said “Enchiladas Verdes” with the strongest Spanish accent you’ve ever heard! Him and his Dad speak Spanish, and so they can’t say any Spanish word without putting an accent on it–even if it’s talking about a Mexican dish, like enchiladas, fajitas, or quesadillas, in the middle of a normal English sentence. What makes it even funnier is that they’re totally unaware of it! (Well, at least they were before I started teasing them!) Hehe. You can only imagine how much fun i’ve been having with that!
Anyway, yesterday I made Enchiladas for the first time ever, with a home-made green sauce–and it was SO delicious, I was completely and utterly taken aback! I made them for my husband, but I think I ended up liking them as much as he did! This recipe is definitely a keeper…Adapted from cooking classy
