Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Broil poblanos directly on the top oven rack until blackened on all sides, about 8 minutes, rotating halfway.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer poblanos to a bowl, cover, and let steam 2 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove seeds, and slice into strips.

  3. Step 3

    Stir canned tomatoes with diced onion, salt, and pepper. Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish.

  4. Step 4

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 15 seconds each. Fill each with poblano strips and cheese, roll tightly, and seam-side down in the baking dish.

  5. Step 5

    Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Drizzle with cream, sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  6. Step 6

    Broil 3–4 minutes until cheese bubbles and sauce edges brown slightly. Serve hot.
