Serve 2 20 minutes to make
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (a little more than half a chicken)
- Juice of 1 lime (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 jalapeño, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 small red onion, minced
- 4 - 5 flour tortillas
- 4 - 5 slices asadero or provolone cheese (about 4 ounces)
- Make sure you use really good tomatillo salsa; I really like the Herdez brand of salsa verde (tomartillo salsa), while others in my family like Goldwater’s Salsa.
How to make it
- 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.
