These Enchiladas Divorciadas are a vibrant and authentic Mexican classic, named for the 'divorced' sauces that share the plate without mixing. This high-protein dish features tender poached chicken wrapped in soft corn tortillas, served with both a zesty salsa verde made from fresh tomatillos and a smoky salsa roja crafted from dried chillies. It is a visually stunning meal that offers a sophisticated balance of heat, acidity, and creaminess, making it a wonderful centrepiece for a weekend dinner or a festive gathering with friends.
Technically simple but rich in depth, the recipe uses a traditional poaching method to ensure the chicken remains succulent and flavourful. By preparing the two distinct sauces from scratch, you can control the spice levels to suit your palate, while the finishing touch of tangy crème fraîche and crumbled cheese adds a cooling contrast to the savoury fillings. Serve these enchiladas immediately while the sauces are warm to enjoy the full complexity of this wholesome, homemade favourite.

How to make Enchiladas Divorciadas
Tillbaka till innehållHeat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add chillies and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is lightly browned and vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatillos and cook, stirring occasionally, just until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add coriander and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tomatillos soften, 20–25 minutes. Let cool slightly; transfer to a blender. Purée until smooth; season with salt. Return salsa verde to saucepan and keep warm until ready to use.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add both chillies, tomatoes, and 350ml water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tomatoes and chillies soften, 20–25 minutes. Let cool slightly; transfer to a blender. Purée until smooth; season with salt. Return salsa roja to saucepan and keep warm until ready to use.
Place chicken, bay leaves, and allspice in a small pot and pour in water to cover by 1"; season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently until chicken is nearly cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken should register 63°C to 66°C), 20–25 minutes from the time water starts simmering. Let chicken cool at least 1 hour (it should be just warm). If you have the time, cover and chill up to 12 hours.
Remove chicken from broth. Pull meat from bones and shred; discard skin and bones. Place meat in a large saucepan and pour in just enough broth to cover. Set aside any remaining broth for another use. Gently reheat chicken over medium-low; season with salt.
Meanwhile, mix crème fraîche and queso fresco in a small bowl to combine.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Submerge each tortilla in oil long enough to soften but not so long that they fall apart, 5–10 seconds each. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain.
Working one at a time, fill each tortilla with about 50g shredded chicken and roll up tightly. Place 3 tortillas each, seam side down, into bowls. Ladle 120ml each sauce on opposite ends of enchiladas. Top with a big spoonful of crème fraîche mixture and scatter onion over.
Chicken can be poached and shredded 3 days ahead. Place in a small bowl and pour in broth to submerge; cover and chill.
