This recipe is for a family of 5, so if you’re cooking for less people, cut the ingredients in half. We love leftover veggies so I always make this quantity.
Ingredients for Green Sauce:
- 12 Tomatillos
- 7 cloves of garlic peeled
- 6 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 1 large white onion
- 3 Jalapeno peppers
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- Olive oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
- Salt
- Pepper
Rest of Ingredients:
- Leftover chicken
- Sour cream
- Green salsa (if you haven’t made your own)
- Flour tortillas
- Grated cheese (I use a fiesta or Mexican blend)
-
Directions for Green Salsa:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees
- Peel all the tomatillos, rinse them so the skin is not sticky & cut each
one into 4 pieces
- Place all the tomatillos into a large bowl
- Add the peeled garlic into the large bowl
- Cut the jalapeno peppers in half and remove the seeds & ribs (to make
the recipe less spicy)
- Add the jalapeno peppers into the bowl
- Drizzle the oil on top
- Add a large pinch of salt & pepper into the bowl
- Pour all of the ingredients into a cookie sheet & place it in the oven for
25 minutes
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor (or blender) and pulse it
until it comes out with a salsa consistency
- Add a large handful of cilantro to the food processor
- Add a drizzle of the oil
- Pulse all the ingredients until the cilantro is now all chopped up
Directions for rest of recipe:
- With two forks shred the leftover chicken into smaller pieces
- Add sour cream to chicken to moisten the chicken but not have it too
wet – I used ¾ a cup
- Mix the sour cream and chicken mixture together
- Add a handful of the grated cheese so it’s mixed in without
overpowering the mixture
- Add some of the green salsa to the bottom of a casserole dish – if
you’re using a bottled salsa, make sure to pregrease the pan before
adding the salsa
- Take a tortilla and add the chicken mixture to it and top it with a small
drizzle of green salsa
- Fold the tortilla and place it in the casserole dish fold side down
- Repeat until your dish is full
- Now drizzle more of your green salsa on top and with the back of a
spoon spread it on top of the tortillas
- Add a few dollops of sour cream on top of some of the tortillas
- Top the tortillas with more shredded cheese
- Place casserole dish in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese
is melted & golden
- Enjoy!
