Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Slice poblanos into strips, discarding seeds. Cook with onion until soft and lightly charred, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour crushed tomatoes into a shallow bowl. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a separate small skillet over medium. Working one at a time, dip each tortilla in tomato sauce to coat.
Step 3
Lay tortilla flat on a cutting board. Scatter a pinch of cheese and a few pepper-onion strips down the middle. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
Step 4
Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour remaining tomato sauce over the enchiladas. Drizzle crema in thin lines across the top.
Step 5
Scatter remaining cheese evenly over everything. Bake at 425°F for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and edges bubble.
Step 6
Pull from oven. Let rest 2 minutes, then serve hot.
