Ingredients
Hatch Green Chile Sauce
- ¼ cup refined coconut oil or canola oil
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic - minced
- 2 to 3 cups broth/stock
- 2 cups chopped Hatch green chile
- 1 teaspoon salt +/-
- several grinds of pepper
Green Chile Enchiladas
- 1 dozen corn tortillas
- 8 to 12 ounces cheese - grated
- ½ cup onion - see Tips, chopped
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Add the oil to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour, and cook until it begins to get a little bit of color (about 5 minutes). We're looking for a very light roux. Note: Stir frequently (or constantly) to avoid burning.
- Add the cumin and garlic, and cook an additional minute or so. Begin whisking in the broth/stock, allowing time for the mixture to come to a boil as you add. Maximum thickness happens when it boils.
- When you achieve the consistency of a medium-thick gravy, add the green chile. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Check occasionally while you prepare the remaining ingredients, adding more broth as needed.
- Chop the onions, grate the cheese, and gather the eggs. Preheat the oven to 400° (if using).
- Start with a single corn tortilla on a plate. Using a ladle, spread enough sauce to cover the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and onions. Repeat (I usually use 3 tortillas per person). You'll just want sauce and cheese on the last tortilla. Place in the hot oven or microwave (60 seconds). If I'm using the oven, I get all the plates ready, and put them in the oven until cheese is visibly melting.
- Prepare your eggs. I do basted eggs to where the white is set but the yolks are very loose. Top each stack with an egg, and garnish with chopped cilantro as desired. Enjoy!
