Answer 2

You want authentic Enchiladas:

Sauce (Salas verde):

1 lg jalapeno pepper

12 tomatillos

1 piece fresh garlic

Boil in a pot.

In a medium frying pan heat veg oil.

When hot fry corn tortillas on both sides and drain on towels.

In blender blend tomotillos, garlic, jalapeno and a few slices fresh onion and a dash of salt.

Pour mixture back in sauce pot and simmer, adding more water as it thickens to thin out a bit.

Turn burner off and add tortillas one at a time. Until soaked well on both sides and then fold over each end with two forks and place on plate. Do all tortillas until you have desired amount on plate.

Then layer tortillas with your chicken, crumbled cheese like Queso Fresco, fresh chopped cilantro, sour cream and chopped onion (if desired).

Enjoy!

Check out "scrappy" recipe... I had forgotten they call that style of enchilada "Suiza" been awhile since I went to Mexico... The recipe looks right...I just make Mex without recipes so it would take to long to imagine what to say...I'd try it or search Enchilada Suiza online...for other similar recipes.
