Prepare Sauce
Place the onion, garlic, tomatillos, and poblano chiles on a baking
sheet and roast in a 350F (180C) oven for 20 minutes. Transfer the
roasted vegetables to a large pot and add the chicken stock. Bring to a
boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat,
add the cilantro, and puree in batches in an electric blender. Set
aside.
Assemble Enchiladas
Preheat Oven to 350F
To make the enchiladas, combine the goat cheese, half the asadero
cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl and stir to combine.
Heat about 1 to 2 cups of oil in skillet. Use a pair of tongs and
dip a tortilla in the oil for a few seconds until softened.
Transfer to a plate atop a few layers of paper toweling to drain.
Place 3 to 4 tablespoons of the filling on each tortilla and roll
tightly. Place about 1 cup of the tomatillo sauce in a large baking pan
and arrange the enchiladas seam-side down.
Top with 2 to 3 cups of the tomatillo sauce and the remaining grated
asadero cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted and
enchiladas are heated through.
