Let me tell you, when I first tried making this dish, I was a bit intimidated. But honey, once you nail this recipe, you’ll feel like a true Mexican chef! 🌶️
What you’ll need:
– 12 corn tortillas, cut into triangles
– 2 chicken breasts
– 8 tomatillos
– 2 jalapeños (or 1 if you’re a spice wimp like my husband 😉)
– 1 white onion
– 4 garlic cloves
– Fresh cilantro
– Mexican crema
– Queso fresco
– Avocado
– Salt and pepper to taste

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. First, roast those tomatillos and jalapeños until they’re charred and soft (about 10-15 minutes). Trust me, this step is crucial for that authentic flavor!
1. While those are roasting, season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a little lime juice. Grill them until they’re perfectly done and juicy. Let them rest before slicing – patience is a virtue, darling!
1. Blend the roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and cilantro until smooth. This sauce is everything!
1. Here’s where the magic happens: Lightly fry those tortilla triangles until they’re just crispy. Don’t go overboard – we’re not making chips here!
1. Pour that gorgeous green sauce over your tortillas, letting them simmer until slightly softened but still maintaining some crunch.
1. Top with your sliced chicken, drizzle with Mexican crema, sprinkle queso fresco, and add sliced avocado. Garnish with extra cilantro because, honestly, can you ever have too much?
Pro tip: If your kids are picky eaters (like my little ones), you can adjust the spice level by removing the jalapeño seeds. Mom hack right there!
The best part? This dish works for breakfast, lunch, OR dinner. Talk about versatility! And between us girls, it’s also perfect for those “morning after” brunches, if you know what I mean! 😉
