Picture From Real Simple


Ingredients:

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound tomatillos (papery skins removed), chopped
1 onion (preferably white), chopped
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 2- to 2 1/2-pound rotisserie chicken, meat shredded
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/4 cups grated Monterey Jack (5 ounces)
8 6-inch corn tortillas
Pico de Gallo or salsa


Directions:
Heat oven to 400° F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, onion, poblano, garlic, cumin, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, add the cream, and puree.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, tomatoes, 1 cup of the cheese, ½ cup of the tomatillo sauce, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Warm the tortillas according to the package directions. Spread 1 cup of the remaining sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roll the chicken mixture in the tortillas and place them in the dish, seam-side down.

Top with the remaining sauce and cheese. Bake until beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with Pico de Gallo.
