Preparation

Step 1

In a blender or food processor combine the tomatillos, 2/3 of the onion, cilantro, chilies, cumin and pepper. Process until puréed; set aside.
In a nonstick skillet cook the tomato and remaining third of the onion for three minutes. Stir in the chicken and 1/3 to 1/2 of the tomatillo mixture and heat through. Spray a 3 quart (for 6 servings) baking dish with nonstick spray.
Pour tomato juice into a shallow dish. Dip a tortilla into the tomato juice coating both sides and place on a work surface. Spoon about 3 Tbsp of the chicken mixture down the center of the tortilla and roll up. Place seam side down in the dish and repeat until all are assembled. Spoon remaining tomato mixture over the enchiladas.
Bake, covered, in a 350° oven for 30 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve with a tossed green salad.
