uizas, you so gooood. You so real good. Out of boredom and loneliness during one of Will's work trips, I decided to spend my nights finding bad ass food to cook. Looking back, that was pretty mean to eat delicious mo-made food while Will eats to-go from a hotel room. But, we're both glad this recipe made it to the coma. It's quick and easy and tastes fantastic!
Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1.5 cups tomatillo salsa
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1/2 small red onion, minced
- 4 flour tortillas
- 4 slices asadero or provolone cheese
Directions:
- Heat oven to 450°F. Put the chicken in a small bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, 1/2 cup of the salsa, 1 teaspoon of the minced jalapeño, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, the minced onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a quarter of the chicken mixture on the lower third of one of the tortillas and roll it into a cylinder from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go, so that no chicken escapes from the ends. Place the filled tortilla in a square 8-by-8-inch baking dish with the seam facing down. Repeat with the remaining chicken and tortillas.
- Combine the remaining 1 cup salsa with 1 tablespoon water, the remaining lime juice, the cilantro, and the jalapeño. Arrange the slices of cheese over the tortillas and pour the salsa mixture over the top. Bake until the cheese is browned and melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
