Directions
1. Arrange oven rack 6 inches from broiler heat source. Preheat broiler on high.
2. Place kale in microwave-safe medium bowl along with 1/2 cup water. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high 8 minutes or until kale is wilted and tender. Drain; let cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, place tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeño on jelly-roll pan; toss with oil. Broil 3 minutes or until lightly charred, turning over once. Let cool slightly. Reset oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
4. Remove peel from garlic cloves; place in food processor bowl along with kale, tomatoes, jalapeño, 1/4 cup cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until smooth. Spread 1/2 cup vegetable purée on bottom of 3-quart baking dish.
5. In large bowl, combine corn, chicken, 2 cups vegetable purée, half of feta cheese, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
6. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave on high 1 minute or until warm and pliable. Place 1/2 cup chicken mixture in center of a tortilla; roll up tightly. Place, seam side down, in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken. Top enchiladas with remaining vegetable purée and feta. Cover with foil; bake 20 minutes or until heated through. To serve, top with lettuce and cilantro.
