Equipment
- 1 knife
- 1 microwave
Ingredients
Broth and Base:
- 1/2 cup of rich chicken broth
Spicy Elements:
- 3/4 cup of roasted hot hatch chiles
- 1 roasted tomatillo
- 1/2 roasted jalapeño pepper
- 2 roasted serrano peppers
Aromatics:
- 1 stalk of green onions white parts removed and finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro stems removed and finely chopped
Cheesy Goodness:
- 1 1/2 cups of shredded "extra melt" American cheese
Seasonings:
- Salt and pepper to taste (approximately 1 teaspoon each)
Citrus Kick:
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
Instructions
- Use running water to scrub the two tomatillos thoroughly. Use a knife to prick several holes in them. Put them in a sealed Ziploc bag and microwave on high for two to three minutes.
- Add chicken stock to a big pot and boil it over medium heat for a few minutes.
- Put in the garlic and peppers and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the peppers are soft.
- Warm the soup while you combine the cilantro, delicate tomatillos, and green chile in the pot.
- Combine all ingredients and process using a high-speed blender until a homogeneous paste develops. Put everything back in the saucepan and heat it up.
- Add more water or apple cider vinegar until you get the ideal consistency for your sauce.
- To make it thicker, sprinkle a tiny amount of flour over the blender’s contents while it’s running.
- For those who can eat gluten, try thickening the sauce with cornstarch and water.
- Add the American cheese and stir until it melts.
- When serving enchiladas, serve them warm or store them in the fridge in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- Salsa verde can stand in for the tomatillos, onions, and poblano peppers called for in the recipe if you don’t have them or don’t have time to make them. There’s no need for more than a single cup of the green stuff.
- You may use Chuy’s boom boom sauce on whatever you want, from chips to enchiladas. It’s not as hot as it sounds like it would be. Despite the little heat of the red pepper flakes, it’s on the mild side.
- Vegetarians may enjoy Chuy’s boom boom sauce since it is meatless. Feel free to indulge in our distinctive sauce’s rich flavor without regret.
- Use green chili peppers from a can or fresh Anaheim peppers to save time. Green chili paste is optional; serrano peppers or jalapenos may be used instead.
