2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 can chopped green chilies, 4 oz can
1 can prepared green chile salsa, 7 oz can
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup oil, for frying
12 tortilla corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix together chicken, chopped green chilies, and green chile salsa in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Stir together whipping cream and kosher salt in a wide, shallow dish until well combined. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each corn tortilla in hot oil until blistering, 2 to 4 seconds, then immediately dip into the cream mixture.
Fill fried corn tortillas with chicken mixture. Roll and place flap-side down in a baking dish. Pour remaining cream mixture over tortillas and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

Chef's notes

The tortilla fry is a 2-to-4-second flash -- any longer and they crisp up and crack when rolled; pull them the moment they blister and puff. Dip each tortilla in the cream mixture immediately after frying while it is still hot and pliable, before it stiffens. Use a shallow, wide dish for the cream soak so every tortilla gets an even coat; tilt the dish to submerge fully. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly here -- shred and chop it while still warm so it mixes easily with the chilies and salsa. Assembled enchiladas can be refrigerated up to 8 hours before baking; add the remaining cream mixture and cheese right before going into the oven so the tortillas do not become soggy.
