Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    Add the shredded chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the chopped tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning if needed. Set aside.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a portion of the chicken filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 6

    Add the Sauce

    Pour the verde sauce evenly over the filled tortillas. Sprinkle the additional Monterrey Jack cheese on top.
