Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and roast the poblano peppers for 20 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Let cool, then peel and chop.
  2. Blend the roasted poblano peppers with minced garlic, butter, whole milk, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix with a few tablespoons of the poblano sauce.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet for 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  5. On each tortilla, place a portion of the chicken filling, drizzle with poblano sauce, and roll tightly.
  6. Pour the remaining poblano sauce over the assembled enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.
