Chuy's Boom Boom Chicken Enchiladas
Insert image of finished product
One of my all time favorite foods is the Boom Boom Chicken Enchiladas from Chuy's. These were introduced during one of their Green Chili Festivals. It was the year they had the Survivor theme. That year my wife and I won the trip to New Mexico. Each day during the green chili festival I filled out the comment card "Boom Boom everyday!"
Now it's on the menu as a daily special.
Ingredients
10 corn tortillas
1 1/4 lb cooked roasted chicken
1/2 c vegetable broth
1/4 c water
1/4 T each salt and pepper
3/4 lb roasted green chilies
2 oz tomatillos
1 1/2 oz cilantro
1 oz green onions
3/4 oz minced cerrano peppers
1/2 oz lime juice
1 1/4 lb American cheese
additional mixed shredded cheese for topping
Preparation
In a saucepan, add vegetable broth, water and spices and place over a medium to high flame. Using a food processor, puree roasted green chilies, tomatillos, cilantro, green onions, serranos and lime juice.
Add to saucepan, stirring in well. Bring mixture to a slow boil. Lower flame and slowly add American cheese, whipping as needed to remove clumps and make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom. When the cheese is melted and mixed, remove from heat. Yields 1 Quart.
To make enchiladas, fill a corn tortilla with 2 ounces of cooked, roasted chicken. Roll up and place in a baking pan. Top with mixed cheese, as needed. Warm in a hot oven for 4 minutes, until cheese is melted. Top with Boom-Boom Sauce.
