Ingredients to make Cream Enchiladas:

• 4 pieces of guajillo chili
• 2 pieces of tomato
• 2 cups of hot water
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 piece of onion
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil as needed
• 1 shredded chicken breast
How to make Cream Enchiladas:
To start the cream enchiladas recipe, first clean the guajillo peppers, remove the seeds, the stem and the veins. Take to a container with hot water and let stand at least 10 minutes to soften. When the chilies are softened, go to the blender with two cloves of garlic, a piece of onion, 2 tomatoes, a little of the water from cooking the chilies and half a cup of milk cream, blend everything for about 3 minutes.
In a pot, heat about two tablespoons of oil, empty the sauce and cook for 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and boil for about 5 more minutes. To assemble the Veracruz enchiladas, lightly fry the corn tortillas so they take on a better texture. Fill with shredded chicken and a little of the cream sauce. Then roll up.
Bathe with enough sauce, add a little cream and grated cheese on top. The delicious cream enchiladas are ready to eat!
With what to accompany the enchiladas de nata
The most traditional way to eat this dish is just with the tortilla rolled up and dipped in sauce, but in addition to that you can prepare a scrambled egg and fill the tortilla. You can also add other ingredients to taste, such as avocado, onion or gratin Oaxaca or Manchego cheese. In addition, if you want, you can also add a couple of Serrano peppers to the preparation of the sauce to give that spicy touch that many like, since cream enchiladas are not usually spicy.
