You can have so many variations of this dish depending on the filling you have at hand and the sauce or\u00a0<em>salsa\u00a0<\/em>options. This recipe uses\u00a0<em>chiles poblanos<\/em> which are a mix between paprikas and\u00a0<em>chiles<\/em>. You can also make more &#8220;typical&#8221; sauces like red or green or, if you don&#8217;t like spicy food, you can make a bean sauce to make\u00a0<em>enfrijoladas.<\/em> The recipe I am using here is my grandma&#8217;s and you might find many varieties of it online and in cookbooks. Because it is an\u00a0<em>abuelita\u00a0<\/em>recipe, the measurements are approximations. Like all good home recipes, my grandma measures her recipe with handfuls and &#8216;bits of.&#8217; It is an easy recipe so if you put too much of one thing, you can adjust. I will add that on the instructions. This recipe is for 2 people or 8 enchiladas.<\/p>\n<h4>Ingredientes<\/h4>\n<p><em>2 chiles poblanos grandes; el tama\u00f1o de cada chile es el largo de tu mano; ajusta cantidad si los chiles son peque\u00f1os<br \/>\n<\/em><em>1 pu\u00f1o <\/em>(handful)<em> de cacahuates sin sal<br \/>\n<\/em><em>1\/2 taza de leche<br \/>\n<\/em><em>media cebolla<br \/>\n8 tortillas de ma\u00edz<br \/>\n<\/em><em>1 pechuga de pollo cocida y deshebrado <\/em>(cooked and shredded)<em><br \/>\nqueso Oaxaca o queso Manchego<br \/>\ncrema al gusto<br \/>\ncebolla picada al gusto<br \/>\nsal al gusto<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Instrucciones<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_13494\" style=\"width: 273px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13494\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13494\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Enchiladas-263x350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Enchiladas-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Enchiladas-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Enchiladas.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Personal Photograph<\/p><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Primero pones a tostar los chiles en un sart\u00e9n o comal muy caliente sin aceite hasta que queden todos negritos.
