Ingredients
Chicken, two limes, olive oil, cilantro, six tomatillos, two serrano peppers,
one large yellow onion (diced), corn tortillas, cotija cheese, pepper jack cheese, avocado, garlic
First, marinate chicken in lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and cilantro. In the meantime, shuck and wash tomatillos, then roast in the oven on 400 degrees until blackened, turning periodically to blacken all sides. In a food processor, mix tomatillos, two cloves of garlic, half an onion, one serrano pepper and the juice of one lime until a salsa forms. Transfer tomatillo into a medium sauce pan. Add marinated chicken and one-fourth of the remaining onions and cook on medium heat. Once thoroughly cooked, shred chicken and simmer in sauce on low heat until ready to serve.
In a small bowl, mash avocado, lime juice to taste, salt and pepper, the remaining onions and a bit of cilantro to make a guacamole mixture.
Next, take your corn tortillas (I love Trader Joe's Corn/Wheat Tortillas) and sprinkle a small amount of pepper jack cheese on them. Broil until cheese melts. Add shredded tomatillo chicken, a bit of guacamole, cotija cheese crumbles and any other ingredients you like (I chose some more serrano peppers and sour cream) and FEAST.

I am SO glad you posted this recipe. I was dying when I saw them on IG the other day.
Do you have a recommendation for pre-made tomatillo sauce? I have yet to purchase a blender/food processor. Also, I'm lazy.
My mouth is literally watering. My world has been deprived of good Mexican food (including ingredients like cheddar cheese.. wut?!) since we moved. OHMYGOSH how I miss it!
um, can you come cook for me? That looks like it tastes so good it might change my life.
Cheers.
MMM... I'm not droooling... (yes I am)
