Ingredients
- 6 tomatillos
- Metal skewers
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and quartered
- 1 jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and quartered
- 2 large cloves garlic, peeled
- Cooking spray
- A small handful cilantro leaves
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palmful
- Salt
- 1 rotisserie chicken, skin removed and meat shredded
- 5 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or mild Cheddar
Directions
Heat a grill pan to medium-high or heat an outdoor grill.
Peel and rinse the tomatillos. Halve the tomatillos and thread onto metal skewers along with the onions, peppers and garlic. Spray the skewered ingredients with cooking spray and grill for 15 minutes. Scrape the charred ingredients into a food processor and add the cilantro, the lime zest, lime juice, honey, cumin and salt, to taste. Process to form a sauce - if too thick, add 1/4 to 1/3 cup water. Add the chicken and the sauce to a large bowl and toss together.
Char the tortillas on a grill or over a flame burner. Spray a cake pan with cooking spray, then add a tortilla and top with 1/4 of the chicken mixture, 4 rounded teaspoon-sized dollops of creme fraiche or sour cream and some shredded Swiss and Monterey Jack. Add another tortilla and continue to build until you have 4 layers of chicken and cheese ending with a tortilla. Spray the top tortilla with cooking spray and put the pan in a preheated 400 degree F oven or on an outdoor grill with the lid down to melt the cheese, about 5 minutes. Put a plate over the pan and invert it onto a cutting board. Cut into 4 wedges and serve.

Wonderful! One good-sized Rotisserie chicken yielded plenty of chicken to make two (2 "cakes". I served it with a Chipotle Crema (sour cream, one chopotle in adobo, some honey and some lime juice and it received rave reviews! Even those who shy away from spicy food loved this! Easy to make ahead and easy to serve! I will definitely to again!! [I'm going to try the sauce with grilled shrimp over rice or couscous]

I cooked the vegetables on a grill pan without skewers. The enchilada suiza recipe I use says "suiza" refers to the use of cream, not swiss cheese, so I used all jack cheese. No way the vegetable sauce with the meat from a whole chicken and 4 cups of cheese fit into my 8" cake pan. I charred 6 tortillas and made two 8" cakes, each with 3 tortillas and two layers of filling. Delicious!
