Steps

Broil the vegetables.
Heat the broiler. Spread the tomatillos, chiles, onion halves, and garlic on a sheet pan. Broil until charred and softened, about 8 minutes, turning once.
Blend the salsa ingredients.
Transfer the charred vegetables to a blender with the cilantro and stock. Blend until smooth. Season with salt.
Heat oil and simmer salsa.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan over medium-high. Pour in the salsa (it will sputter) and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
Soften tortillas in oil and salsa.
Warm the remaining oil in a small skillet. Dip each tortilla in the oil for 5 seconds to soften, then briefly in the salsa.
Roll tortillas with chicken and salsa.
Roll a heap of shredded chicken inside each tortilla and arrange seam-down in a baking dish. Pour remaining salsa over the top.
Bake and garnish the enchiladas.
Bake at 375°F for 12 minutes until bubbly. Drizzle with crema, scatter queso fresco, and serve with lime.
