Instructions
-
Prepare the fillingHeat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, onion, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of green curry paste, lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of cilantro.
-
Make the sauceIn a saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of green curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Gradually whisk in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Preheat and preparePreheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1/4 cup of the green curry sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave or in a dry skillet to make them pliable.
-
Assemble enchiladasPlace about 1/4 cup of the chicken and vegetable filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, arranging them in a single layer.
-
Add sauce and cheesePour the remaining green curry sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese on top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
-
BakeBake covered for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are slightly crisp.
-
Garnish and serveLet stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the enchiladas.
