Ingredients:
1 cup cashews
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup liquid (water, chicken stock or vegetable stock)
6 to 8 collard greens
3 cups diced and/or shredded cooked chicken
2 cups salsa verde
1 recipe cashew sour cream, (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
salt and fresh black pepper
1 ripe avocado, sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
chicken stock
Instructions:
1. Place the cashews in a bowl, cover with water and allow to soak for several hours or over night. (Alternatively, you can cover with water, heat to a simmer and turn off the heat and allow to soak for at least an hour.).
2. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
3. Place cashews in a food processor or high speed blender with the lemon juice, salt and about half the liquid. Pulse to process scraping the sides down as necessary. Add the remaining liquid and process for several minutes until extremely smooth.
4. Preheat oven to 350 F.
5. Boil water in a stock pot and dip collard green leafs in and out quickly to make them pliable. Repeat until you have done 6 to 8 full leaves. Pat with paper towel and set aside
6. Combine the salsa verde and cashew sour cream in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Mix the shredded chicken with approximately 1 1/2 cups of the salsa/sour cream mixture.
8. Roll 1/8th of the chicken mixture in each of the tortillas (about 1/3 - 1/2 cup each) and assemble the chicken enchiladas, side by side, in a pan (use 9x13 or similar size/shape).
9. Top the chicken enchiladas, with the remaining salsa/sour cream mixture. (Thin out the sauce with extra chicken stock if it is too thick after heating).
10. Cover with aluminum foil and heat in the oven for 30 minutes or until heated through.
11. Remove from the oven and top with slices of avocado and scallions. Serve immediately.
