Directions
Roast tomatillos: Lay quartered tomatillos, garlic, jalapeno, onion on a sheet tray and drizzle with olive oil. Place under a broiler for 3-4 minutes until ingredients are well charred around the edges.
Remove from broiler and scrape all the ingredients into a blender. Add lime juice and cilantro and blend until smooth. Be careful when blending hot ingredients - place hand firmly on lid of blender. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place shredded chicken in a large bowl, add scallions and cilantro. Season with cumin, chile powder, salt and pepper. Add sliced tortillas and fold in roasted tomatillo mixture. Pour the mixture into an 8x11 baking dish.
Top with crumbled Queso fresco and grated mozarella cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and finish under broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

I use corn tortillas instead of flour, lightly frying them is a great idea to add some crispness to all the amazing flavors in the recipe. I pick up a rotisserie chicken from Costco and use the whole thing and a bigger roasting pan, this is a family favorite. I give it 5 stars!

If you're using corn tortillas lightly fry the tortilla in pan with oil no more than a couple of minutes on each side on medium heat. You dont want to fry it completely but you want it slightly harder.

Otherwise, this looks like a great weeknight dish.

I liked the flavor but thought the texture was a little mushier than I would have liked. The tomatilla sauce was easy to make - will do again.

A simple trick to keep the chilaquiles from turning mushy is that you fry the tortillas a bit in oil before you cut them. No more than 1-2 minutes on each side med to low heat to harden them a bit.

Even with that, the lime and cilantro combination made the sauce so tangy it was almost bitter. I added a can of "table creamâ to counter. I want to decrease the lime & add beans.
