My neighbor made this for Girl's Night In:
Ingredients:
2 poblano chilies (8ounces total)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
12 5-6 inch diameter corn tortillas
4 cups salsa verde (see recipe)., divided
2 cups shredded roasted chicken, divided
3/4 cups sour cream, stirred to loosen, divded
6 ounces grated cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Char chiles directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened all over. Enclose them in a paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed, then cut into 2x1/2 inch strips.
Preheat oven to 375. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla to skillet. Cook until slightly softened, about 15 seconds per side, turning with tongs.
Transfer tortilla to paper towels to drain. Preheat with remaining tortillas, adding oil to skillet as needed.
Spread 1/2cup salsa over bottom of 8x8x2 inch glass baking dish. Arrange 4 tortillas over salsa, covering bottom of dish completely, overlapping slightly and extending about 1.5 inches on each side. Scatter 1 cup chicken over tortillas then half of poblano pepper strips. Spoon 1.5 cups salsa over, spreading evenly. Spoon 1/4 cup sour cream over in small dollops. Cover with 4 tortillas, overlapping slightly. Layer with remaining 1 cup chicken, remaining poblanos, 1 cup salsa, and 1/4 sour cream. Cover with remaining 4 tortillas, then 1 cup salsa, and remaining 1/4 cup sour cream. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake casserole until bubblingand cheese is lightly browned about 35 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces, divided among plates. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Salsa Verde Recipe:
3 pounds tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 large jalapeno chilles, stems removed
5 small garlic cloves, peeled
1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
1.5 bunches fresh cilantro, thick bottom stems trimmed
3/4 cup loosely packed fresh italian parsley leaves.
1/3 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1.5 teaspoons salt
Mix first 2 ingredients in large saucepan.
Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat: simmer until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand 15 minutes. Drain.
Coursely chop tomatillo mixture, garlic and cumin in processor using on/off turns. Add next 3 ingredients. Blend until herbs are chopped and salsa is chunky.
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add salsa and simmer until thickened and reduced to 4 cups, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt.
ENJOY - and please excuse any typos!
