Ingredients

• 18 Corn tortillas
• 3 cups Shredded chicken
• 1.5 lb Tomatillos
• 2 Poblano chiles
• 1 Jalapeño
• 1/2 White onion
• 1 cup Crema
• 2 cups Manchego or Oaxaca cheese
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1/4 cup Vegetable oil

Steps

1. Char the tomatillos, poblanos, and jalapeño, then blend with onion, garlic, and broth into a smooth green sauce. Simmer 10 minutes.
2. Stir half the crema into the sauce off the heat — the Swiss-style creamy finish.
3. Flash-fry each tortilla in hot oil 10 seconds per side so they roll without cracking, then drain.
4. Fill with chicken, roll snugly, and line up seam-down in a baking dish.
5. Drown in the green sauce and blanket with cheese.
6. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes until bubbling and browned. Drizzle with the remaining crema and serve.
