Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- heavy cream
- sour cream
Crema: warm heavy cream just enough to take the chill off - it should not feel hot. Stir in sour cream with active cultures (or buttermilk) until there are no lumps.
- 2 can canned tomatoes
Puree two drained 28-ounce cans of tomatoes in a food processor with serrano chilies dry roasted in a skillet about five minutes until soft.
- serrano chilies
- browned onions
Add the puree to browned onions and cook, stirring regularly, seven or eight minutes until as thick as tomato paste.
- chicken broth
- shredded chicken
- thinly sliced onion
Stir in chicken broth, reduce to medium-low and simmer while preparing the rest.
- Chihuahua cheese
- oil
Lay tortillas on a baking sheet, brush lightly with oil on both sides and heat in a 350F oven two or three minutes until pliable; stack to keep warm.
- salt
Season the sauce with salt and stir in the crema; mix some of it into the shredded chicken.
- 3 whole tortillas
Spoon the chicken onto tortillas, roll them, and set three in each individual baking dish over a little sauce. Sauce them and sprinkle with Chihuahua cheese.
