Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts water
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed
4 serrano chiles
2 garlic cloves
1/2 small yellow onion
12 medium-size day-old corn tortillas
Canola oil, for frying
2 medium size chicken breasts boneless and skinless
8 ounces asadero-style cheese grated (may substitute Monterey Jack)
4 ounces Mexican cream or creme fraiche
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • In a medium sauce pan boil the water, add the tomatillos and serrano chiles and let them cook for about 8 minutes. In a blender puree the tomatillos, chiles, garlic, and onions using enough of the tomatillo water to make a sauce consistency. Strain.
  • Cut the tortillas in half and then in quarters making 8 triangles from each one. In a medium-size skillet heat the oil, fry the tortillas until crisp and remove from heat.
  • In a medium-size skillet saute the chicken breast until done and then slice into 1-inch strips.
  • In a medium sauce pan bring the tomatillo salsa to a boil, taste for salt, and season if necessary, add the crispy tortillas and let simmer for about 4 minutes or until the tortillas get soft.
  • In a 8 by 8 inch baking dish, place some of the chilaquiles with sauce, add some of the chicken strips, cover with more tortillas then top with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven until the cheese melts, garnish with the cream, chopped onion, and avocado slices.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but these chilaquiles were really good. The chicken was moist and tender, and the sauce was flavorful and slightly spicy. The tortillas were crispy and added a nice texture to the dish. I would definitely make this

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and tortillas. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken and some stale tortillas, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up. The chilaquiles were delicious and my kids loved them.
