When planning what to cook, I ask myself what I want but also what do I have on hand that I can use up. I was craving some Mexican food and I had lots of precooked frozen chicken, watermelon, some tomatillos and tortillas on hand. I decided to make up some Chicken Enchiladas with Verde sauce and watermelon salad.
I start out by making up some Verde sauce. Here are most of the ingredients.
Everybody on the kamado along with some corn for elote.
Once everything was nice and roasted I skinned and seeded the jalapenos
and placed it all in a blender for a spin. (Note: I added a can of store bought sauce to increase the amount)
A few months back I had cooked up a mess of chicken (Piernitas de Pollo Marinadas) and I had vacuum sealed a bunch of it for just this sort of occasion.

I thawed out a package
and pulled it for the enchilada filling.
I added a cup of queso fresco and ½ cup of diced onion and mixed it together.
I set up my work area,
dipped a warm tortilla in the Verde sauce
and rolled up the enchiladas.
Poured some more sauce over them
and spread on some Mexican cheese.
I placed them on my preheated (to 300) kamado for 15 minutes.
Unwrapped my corn and made it up elote style and plated it with the enchiladas, some Mexican Watermelon Salad and a Negra Modelo.
Muy delicioso!
Thanks for looking.
