Meanwhile, roast the chiles directly over the flame of a gas burner (or broil the chiles on a foil lined baking sheet), turning until the skins are evenly blackened. Place the blackened chiles in a bowl and cover with a plate to steam for about for 5 minutes, then peel off and discard the blackened skins.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and transfer vegetables to a medium sized bowl.

Wipe the same skillet used to cook the vegetables clean. Add enough vegetable oil to cover the surface of the pan and heat on medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add one tortilla to the pan. Cook just until tortilla is warm and pliable, then remove with tongs, gently shaking off any excess oil. Place on a paper towel lined plate.

Proceed cooking and filling the remaining tortillas this way, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Make sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese for the top of the enchiladas. Place each rolled tortilla side by side in the casserole dish and spread the remaining tomatillo sauce on top.
