Ingredients
- 2 quarts water
- 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks removed
- 4 serrano chiles
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 small yellow onion
- 12 medium-size day-old corn tortillas
- Canola oil, for frying
- 2 medium size chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 8 ounces asadero-style cheese grated (may substitute Monterey Jack)
- 4 ounces Mexican cream or creme fraiche
- 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced
Directions
In a medium sauce pan boil the water, add the tomatillos and serrano chiles and let them cook for about 8 minutes. In a blender puree the tomatillos, chiles, garlic, and onions using enough of the tomatillo water to make a sauce consistency. Strain.
Cut the tortillas in half and then in quarters making 8 triangles from each one. In a medium-size skillet heat the oil, fry the tortillas until crisp and remove from heat.
In a medium-size skillet saute the chicken breast until done and then slice into 1-inch strips.
In a medium sauce pan bring the tomatillo salsa to a boil, taste for salt, and season if necessary, add the crispy tortillas and let simmer for about 4 minutes or until the tortillas get soft.
In a 8 by 8 inch baking dish, place some of the chilaquiles with sauce, add some of the chicken strips, cover with more tortillas then top with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven until the cheese melts, garnish with the cream, chopped onion, and avocado slices.

Not very attractive. Tasted like nachos. My kids would not eat it. They like the look of regular nachos.

Thank you for this recipe! It is only my husband and I but I always make the full recipes. I gave leftovers to coworkers and neighbors, it was a hit with everyone. I garnished with sourcream and avocado slices, and it was excellent!
