Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 poblano chile
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil plus more for frying
  • 1 ½ lbs tomatillos husks removed
  • 2 serrano chile seeds removed for less heat (optional, or jalapeno chile
  • 1 onion halved and peeled, small, white
  • 1 cup cilantro plus more for garnish, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • pinch cumin
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 3 cups chicken shredded, cooked, or turkey
  • 2 cups queso Oaxaca shredded or mozzarella
  • 8 6- inch corn tortillas

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the poblano peppers when they’re broiling. You want them to be blackened and charred on all sides to add a nice smoky flavor to the sauce. 
  • If you have leftover cooked chicken or turkey, freeze it in an airtight freezer bag for up to 4 months to use in this recipe. It’s a great way to prevent food waste and save money! 
  • Adjust the spiciness to your preferences. Depending on the peppers you use, this recipe can be as spicy or mild as you’d like. 
  • Don’t step away from the tortillas! Only let them fry for a couple of minutes so that they’re pliable and not hard and crispy.
