Instructions
Step 1
Blend onions, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro with ½ cup of water
Step 2
Add olive oil to a saucepan and saute chicken until golden on both sides at medium-high heat.
Step 3
Turn down the heat to medium and add the green blend. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil until tender. Takes approximately 20 minutes.
Step 4
Remove chicken from the pan (save the juices) and place it in a bowl. You could use a mixer to shred your chicken or use two forks. Once shredded add the remaining juices and combine.
Step 5
Let’s make the salsa verde. Cut the tomatoes in half, onions into big chunks, and peppers by half (do not remove seeds). Roast them in a pan with olive oil and garlic at medium-high heat until golden.
Step 6
Transfer all veggies to a blender, add cilantro, ½ cup of water, and blend. Add cumin and salt and set aside.
Step 7
Let’s prepare the tortillas. Add olive oil to a saucepan, and heat it up until the oil is hot around 270 F. Introduce 1 tortilla at a time and coat them with oil on both sides. You don’t need to fully fry them. Use tongs and have a plate next to you to place the oil-coated tortillas.
Step 8
Preheat the oven at 375 Grab 1 tortilla, and 41 g of shredded green chicken, and roll them. Place them in a baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake them for 15 minutes or until golden. Coat them with salsa verde and cheese. Bake for another 10-15 minutes.
