These were a BIG hit with the family over the holidays so I thought I’d share the recipe with you!
Serves 4 | Hands-On Time: 35m | Total Time: 55m
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound tomatillos (papery skins removed), chopped
- 1 onion (preferably white), chopped
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 2 – 14 oz Cans of chicken (you can use a rotisserie chicken as well)
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 1/4 cups grated Monterey Jack (5 ounces)
- 24 (approx.) 6-inch corn tortillas
- Pico de Gallo or salsa
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, onion, poblano, garlic, cumin, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, add the heavy cream and sour cream, and puree.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, tomatoes, 1 cup of the cheese, ½ cup of the tomatillo sauce, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Warm the tortillas according to the package directions. Spread 1 cup of the remaining sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roll the chicken mixture in the tortillas and place them in the dish, seam-side down.
- Top with the remaining sauce and cheese. Bake until beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with Pico de Gallo.
