Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
• 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed
• 12 corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese
• 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules, or to taste
• 1 large slice of onion
• 4 green serrano chiles, or to taste
• ½ cup shredded Chihuahua cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Line a griddle or large frying pan with aluminum foil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add tomatillos, onion, chiles, and garlic. Grill until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Allow vegetables to cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer grilled vegetables to a blender with water, cream and 1/2 cup Chihuahua cheese; blend until smooth. Season with chicken bouillon granules; add additional water to thin sauce, if necessary,

Step 4

Heat a small drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds, one by one, until soft but not crispy. Add more oil as needed. Place cooked tortillas on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 5

Pour 1/3 the sauce into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Fill tortillas with equal amounts of shredded chicken, roll up, and arrange in a single layer over the sauce. Pour remaining sauce on top and cover with remaining 1 cup mild Cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until melted, about 25 minutes.
