Let's Get Started
- Remove the stems and seeds from the ancho chilies. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 15 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the soaked ancho chilies, garlic cloves, chopped onion, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth to make the chili sauce.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chili sauce and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Dip each corn tortilla in the chili sauce to coat both sides. Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shredded chicken and roll it up. Place the enchiladas in a baking dish.
- Pour the remaining chili sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side.
